Diamond is a collection of indoor/outdoor rugs and cushions created by designer Charlotte Lancelot. With this collection, GAN has integrated recycled PET fibers into the artisanal kilim weaving technique. The inclusion of these soft and lightweight fibers, despite originating from plastic waste, not only makes the Diamond collection's textiles more sustainable but also allows them to be used in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
The 50x30 cm Diamond Blue-Green cushion features a geometric pattern that complements the rugs in the collection, inspired by the varying degrees of opacity and translucency found in a diamond's faceted surfaces. Charlotte Lancelot has managed to create an illusory transparency effect simply by carefully selecting colors, in this case, green, blue, gray, white, and black.
The Diamond Blue-Green cushion is also available in a square format, as well as in the Pink-Yellow, Orange-Wine, Green-Grey, and Nude-Petrol colorways. All models can be purchased individually, separate from the rugs.
Diamond: A Kilim Cushion from Our Collection
Kilim is a traditional artisanal method of rug making that exclusively uses threads, tightly interweaving the weft on a manual loom without knotting. This process results in a lightweight fabric with a pile-less texture, similar to upholstery. Furthermore, it's a technique that offers great design flexibility, a peculiarity that we at GAN thoroughly explore to create rugs with high-impact patterns and details.
