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 design, featuring reds, oranges, beiges, and browns in this Orange-Wine model from the Diamond series, is a Charlotte Lancelot creation that plays with different hues and geometric shapes to create an illusory transparency effect between the colors. This seeks to mimic the various degrees of translucency found in a diamond's faceted surfaces.
The Diamond collection is a line of indoor/outdoor rugs and cushions made from recycled PET fibers, allowing all its elements to be placed in both interior and exterior spaces. Despite their plastic origin, these fibers are incredibly soft and lightweight, enabling them to be manipulated on the manual looms we use for kilim production. This sustainable manufacturing process gives new life to plastic waste, transforming it into innovative and spectacular designs.
The Diamond Orange-Wine cushion is also available in a square format, as well as in the Nude-Petrol, Blue-Green, Green-Grey, and Pink-Yellow 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.
