Nomad's fabrics are therefore a tribute to local craftsmanship, but also to nomadic communities. Its designer, Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, took inspiration from the minimum of belongings with which nomadic peoples move to create both this pouf and a series of matching elements that would provide movement and deployment as agile as possible, seeking a double nomadism: from one place to another and within the same space.
The idea is that with the sum and combination of its different elements and models, ephemeral, relaxed, informal and changing environments can be projected, capable of transmitting that feeling of home and rest that nomadic communities achieve. That's why both this pouf and the rugs and cushions are intentionally very light elements. In addition, as it is made with PET fibers, Nomad is a collection that is not only sustainable but also suitable for an outdoor location.
The Nomad Inuit Grey pouf has a drawing pattern based on triangles, in pink and gray. The other five models in the collection feature other colours and patterns with checkered, herringbone, wool knit, small flowers or geometric designs.
