In 2017 she took the position of Creative and Communication Deputy Director of the company and Creative Director of Diabla. An interdisciplinary creative and plastic artist, she develops her work from the visual arts and collective memory, applied to the design of objects and communication. Her work, linked to light and nature, has been part of national and international exhibitions. Her furniture and object designs have been awarded in various competitions, including NYCxDesign, DNA Paris Design Awards, European Design Awards, and German Design Awards.
Made up of a series of rugs, poufs and cushions, the Nomad collection is a design inspired by the minimum of belongings with which nomadic communities move. They are, therefore, intentionally very light elements, so that they favor a deployment and movement as agile 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.
In addition, the fabrics of the Nomad collection are based on indigenous and traditional patterns from India, found by the GAN team in different areas of the country during the research that allowed us to test how recycled PET fibers behaved on a loom. Its fabrics protect and value the legacy of local craftsmanship, taking it to another level, as they are made with innovative fibers from post-consumer plastic waste. Nomad is therefore not only a sustainable collection but also suitable for outdoor use.
The pattern of the Nomad Inuit Neutral pouf has an aesthetic reminiscent of Scottish tartans, in pink and gray tones. The other five models in the collection feature other colours and patterns with triangle, herringbone, wool knit, small flowers or geometric designs.
