The Nomad collection, designed by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, is made up of a set of essential elements, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is a collection inspired by the minimum of belongings with which nomadic communities move. The idea is that with the sum and combination of its different elements and models, ephemeral spaces can be created capable of providing a sense of home and rest, in the same way that nomadic peoples achieve.
In addition, Nomad's fabrics are based on wefts and warps native to India, used during GAN's research to test how recycled PET fibres behaved on different handlooms. In this way, Nomad gives continuity to local craftsmanship through its fabrics, protecting it and elevating it to another level by being made with innovative sustainable fibres, from post-consumer plastic waste and suitable for outdoor use.
The pattern of the Nomad Inuit Pink cushion has a herringbone design in pink. The other five models in the collection feature other colours and patterns with checkered, triangle, knitted wool, small flowers or geometric designs.
