This is the largest pouf in the Original Mangas collection. It is the MP3 model, which can be used as a large informal seat or as a footrest. It is made in the same style as the rugs of the series, combining different textures and colors as stripes. In this case, there are eight distinct designs in both neutral tones and bright colors: green, eggplant, strawberry and terracotta. It can be used in combination with the other elements of Mangas Original or individually.

Product description

The development of Mangas Original took four years of research, in which GAN had to find the tools and create the complex work method that allows the weaving of these pieces on a manual loom, despite their changing textures, threads, and widths.

Patricia Urquiola took as aesthetic reference the classic knitted wool sweater, to design a collection with lots of volume that could combine different textures. From there arose not only a whole line of rugs, inspired by the sweater’s sleeves, but also a series of poufs of original formats.

Mangas Original, a GAN Spaces collection

GAN spaces are collections meticulously constructed from innovative concepts and artisanal production methods. Suggestive approaches that, stemming from a rug, are capable of bringing to life a whole family of modules and accessories with which to design an environment or “space”. A set of designs linked together, designed to project stimulating and contemporary atmospheres with an open, flexible and casual configuration.
