With the combination of rugs, poufs and cushions from the different models of the Nomad collection, you can design multiple relaxed, informal and changing scenarios, as well as structure environments. Its designer, Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, has been inspired by how nomadic communities manage to create ephemeral spaces, capable of providing a sense of home and rest, using a minimum number of elements.
Likewise, the fabrics of the different Nomad models are a tribute to indigenous and traditional patterns of India, as each of them was discovered in a different area of the country during GAN's research to test how recycled PET fibers behaved on a manual loom. Its incorporation into this collection protects and enhances the legacy of this local craftsmanship, going a step further by being made with innovative fibres from post-consumer plastic waste, which, apart from being more sustainable, allows use in outdoor spaces.
The Nomad Inuit Pink rug has a pink herringbone pattern. The rest of the models in this collection feature other colors and patterns of checks, wool knitting or small flowers. Available in two sizes, with the possibility of special measurements, it is a very thin and light rug that, in a way, is reminiscent of kilims.
