Designed by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, the Nomad collection is inspired by the minimum of belongings with which nomadic peoples travel. The idea is that with the combination of its different elements and models, ephemeral environments can be designed capable of providing a feeling of home and rest, in the same way that nomadic peoples achieve by using only fabrics, rugs and cushions.
Another peculiarity of this collection is that Nomad's fabrics are based on indigenous and traditional patterns found in different areas of India by the GAN team, during the research that allowed us to test how recycled PET fibers behaved on the handlooms. Nomad is a tribute to local craftsmanship taken to another level, as its fabrics are made with fibers from post-consumer plastic waste, so this collection is not only sustainable but also suitable for outdoors.
The Nomad Tuareg Blue pouf has a construction pattern reminiscent of the knitting work of wool sweaters or scarves, in beige and blue. The other five models in the collection feature other colors and patterns with checkered, triangle, herringbone, small flower, or geometric designs.
