Charlotte Lancelot was born in Brussels in 1980 and studied at the Escuela Nacional Superior de la Cambre where she qualified in Industrial Design in 2003. She worked with architect and designer Alain Berteau for two years before setting up her own studio, with which she took part in the Milan Satellite Trade Show in 2006. The same year she was chosen by Wallpaper magazine to organise the Global édit 06 exhibition in the Armani Theatre during Designweek. She has taken part in numerous trade fairs and national exhibition, mainly in the context of the 100% designed in Brussels selection. She collaborates with companies such as Ligne Roset, Koziol, Konstantin, Slawinki, Kidslab, Easyoga….
Onda is the first collection of tapestries launched by GAN, developed in collaboration with Charlotte Lancelot. A series of pieces conceived from a completely artistic perspective in which the designer has reinterpreted the popular needle painting technique seeking a much more pictorial effect than the traditional one.
Its design represents in an abstract and very vibrant way the undulations of waves or the earth, depending on its color range. It is a piece that moves between design, art, and craftsmanship, being made with the embroidery technique using thick felt strands on large canvases. Its function as a tapestry and the technique used also allow for emphasizing its irregular edges.
It is a tapestry designed, above all, as a work for contemplation, with a delicate balance between its innovative character and its poetics. A proposal that seeks to integrate nature into a space, inviting the mind to reconnect and find serenity. On the other hand, its tapestry format, present in many cultures of the world, generates an immediate emotional connection by being a familiar object but, at the same time, new and contemporary.
This model in blue tones is the largest in the Onda collection (260 x 166 cm). It is also available in brown tones, as well as in two other sizes: 140 x 140 cm and 80 x 140 cm.
Onda is a model from our Tapestries collection
The exploration of the plastic and expressive qualities of our designs in the field of rugs and modular collections for spaces has led us to approach the tapestry as a kind of natural evolution. With this new textile typology, we jump from the floor to the walls, expanding GAN's catalog toward proposals with a powerful artistic and volumetric character, while also taking advantage of their thermal and soundproofing capabilities for spaces.
