Designed by Charlotte Lancelot, the Diamond collection draws inspiration from the varying degrees of opacity and translucency found in a diamond's faceted surfaces. The Pink-Yellow cushion aims to reproduce these different degrees of translucency through a combination of hues that create this illusion on a visual perception level.
The Diamond collection comprises a series of rugs, featuring an innovative and unusual octagonal shape, plus a series of rectangular or square cushions. These elements help create an aesthetic link between the two in a space. However, all cushion models can be purchased separately, independently of the rugs.
The Diamond collection's fabrics are very thin and flexible, as they are made with very light and soft fibers from recycled PET. These fibers can be manipulated on the same artisan looms we use for kilim production. This sustainable manufacturing method gives new life to plastic waste, transforming it into spectacular designs. Furthermore, this material allows its fabrics to be used in both indoor and outdoor settings.
The Diamond Pink-Yellow cushion is also available in a square format, as well as in the Orange-Wine, Nude-Petrol, Blue-Green, and Green-Grey colorways.
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.
