The Inuit pouf, belonging to GAN's Nomad collection, is a design by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret. This lightweight and versatile pouf allows you to create different compositions and structures for lying down, sitting or reclining, both indoors and outdoors. Its design is inspired by the minimal belongings with which nomadic communities move, making it perfect for creating relaxed and informal environments. Combine it with cushions and rugs from the same collection (Nomad Inuit Cushion - Pouf Neutral, Nomad Inuit Cushion - Pouf Pink and Nomad Inuit Cushion - Pouf Grey) and create a unique space. The Nomad collection is a design inspired by the minimal belongings with which nomadic communities move.
It is, therefore, about intentionally very light elements, to favor as agile a deployment and movement as possible, both from one place to another and within the same space. By stacking the poufs and cushions between them it is possible to generate different structures with different heights, resulting in relaxed, informal and changing environments. The fabrics in the Nomad collection are based on indigenous and traditional patterns from India, found by the GAN team in different areas of the country. Its fabrics protect and enhance the legacy of local craftsmanship by taking it to another level, by being made with innovative fibers from post-consumer plastic waste. Nomad is, therefore, not only a sustainable collection but also suitable for outdoor use.
