The geometric pattern in red, orange, beige, and brown tones on this Diamond Orange-Wine square cushion plays with different hues and geometric shapes to create an illusory transparency effect between the various colors. Its design aims to mimic the distinct degrees of translucency found in a diamond's faceted surfaces, just like the Diamond rugs do.
Diamond is a collection of rugs and cushions crafted from recycled PET fibers, meaning all its elements can be placed in both interior and exterior spaces. Despite their plastic origin, the recycled PET strands are very soft and lightweight, allowing them to be used on the manual looms we employ in making our kilims. The sustainable manufacturing process of the Diamond collection, designed by Charlotte Lancelot, gives new life to plastic waste, transforming it into spectacular designs.
The Diamond Orange-Wine square cushion is also available in a 50x30 cm format, as well as in the Nude-Petrol, Blue-Green, Green-Grey, and Pink-Yellow 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.
