The tapestries of the Onda collection move not only between design and art. They are also pure contemporary craftsmanship, as they are crafted with the hand embroidery technique using thick felt strands on large canvases. Their pictorial aesthetic represents the undulations of waves or the earth, depending on their color range, in an abstract and very vibrant way.
This is the first collection of tapestries launched by GAN, conceived from a completely artistic perspective. Its designer, Charlotte Lancelot, has reinterpreted the popular needle painting technique seeking a much more pictorial effect than the traditional one. They are tapestries that invite the mind to reconnect and find serenity, designed as a work for contemplation that seeks to integrate nature into a space.
The balance between its poetics and its innovative character makes it perceived as a singular and contemporary proposal. Likewise, its typology as a tapestry is an allusion to the object heritage of many cultures of the world, which generates an immediate emotional bond by being a familiar yet, at the same time, novel piece.
This tapestry in brown tones is the largest in the Onda collection (260 x 166 cm). It is also available in blue colors, as well as in two other sizes: 140 x 140 cm and 80 x 140 cm.

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.
