Charlotte Lancelot was born in Brussels in 1980 and studied at the Escuela Nacional Superior de la Cambre where she qualified in Industrial Design in 2003. She worked with architect and designer Alain Berteau for two years before setting up her own studio, with which she took part in the Milan Satellite Trade Show in 2006. The same year she was chosen by Wallpaper magazine to organise the Global édit 06 exhibition in the Armani Theatre during Designweek. She has taken part in numerous trade fairs and national exhibition, mainly in the context of the 100% designed in Brussels selection. She collaborates with companies such as Ligne Roset, Koziol, Konstantin, Slawinki, Kidslab, Easyoga….
The square Blue-Green cushion has a geometric pattern that complements the design of the rugs in the Diamond collection. Charlotte Lancelot aimed to create an illusory transparency effect using a meticulous palette of blue, green, and gray colors, through which she successfully reflected the varying degrees of opacity and translucency found in a diamond's faceted surfaces.
With Charlotte Lancelot's Diamond collection of rugs and cushions, GAN has successfully incorporated recycled PET fibers into their artisanal kilim weaving looms. The inclusion of these flexible, lightweight, and very soft fibers, despite originating from plastic waste, not only makes the Diamond collection's textiles more sustainable but also allows all its elements to be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The Diamond Blue-Green square cushion is also available in a 50x30 cm format, as well as in the Pink-Yellow, Orange-Wine, Green-Grey, and Nude-Petrol colorways. All models can be purchased independently of 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.
