With Canevas, Belgian-born designer Charlotte Lancelot has made a magnificent contemporary take on a classic technique, which successfully eludes the trap of nostalgia. The series includes rugs, cushions and poufs that may be used in combination, to create cohesive spaces, or independently as accent pieces.
The Canevas collection uses the cross-stitch technique to create unusual aesthetic compositions, drawn with thick colored wool threads over a base of perforated felt. Some designs manifest as pixelated and blurred flowers while others, like the cushions, seek to emulate more worn surfaces with abstract patterns.
All the elements of the collection are handmade by Indian artisans, using 100% virgin wool.
Canevas, 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.
