The Nomad collection, designed by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, is inspired by the minimum of belongings with which nomadic peoples travel. With the combination of its rugs, poufs and cushions, it is possible to design ephemeral, relaxed and informal environments, capable of providing that feeling of home and rest that nomadic communities achieve. It is precisely the lightness and essential character of the elements of this collection that allows its nomadism and agile deployment, both from one place to another and within the same space.
On the other hand, with the design of the fabric of the Tuareg White cushion, from small flowers to staggered pattern, we have paid tribute to a local craftsmanship, as it is a native and traditional pattern. All Nomad fabrics have this origin, as they were designs identified by the GAN team in different areas of India, during our first testing processes of recycled PET fibers on the handlooms. Made from fibres from post-consumer plastic waste, the elements in the Nomad collection are not only more sustainable, but can also be used outdoors.
The fabric of the Nomad Tuareg White cushion has a drawing pattern based on small flowers, in beige and white. The other five models in the collection feature other colors and patterns with checkered, triangle, herringbone, wool knit, and geometric designs.
