Designed by Charlotte Lancelot, the Diamond collection is handmade using the kilim technique, employing very flexible, soft, and lightweight recycled PET fibers. These fibers can be easily manipulated on this type of manual loom. This sustainable manufacturing method not only gives plastic waste a second life but also makes it possible for the fabrics in this collection to be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Comprising a series of rugs and cushions, the Diamond collection's design aims to reproduce the varying degrees of transparency found in a diamond's faceted faces, creating an illusory translucent effect through a meticulous palette of colors, such as the selection of green, beige, pink, grey, and black tones in this Nude-Petrol cushion. While the rugs feature an unusual octagonal format, Diamond cushions are available in rectangular or square shapes.
The Diamond Nude-Petrol square cushion is also available in a 50x30 cm format, as well as in the Pink-Yellow, Orange-Wine, Blue-Green, and Green-Grey colorways. All of them 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.
