The combination of its different elements and models allows for the creation of ephemeral, relaxed and informal environments, capable of providing a sense of home and rest, in the same way that nomadic communities achieve by using only fabrics, rugs and cushions.
Its pattern, based on small staggered flowers, has an autochthonous and traditional origin since the fabrics of this collection are based on designs 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 manual looms. Nomad is therefore not only a tribute to nomadic peoples but also to the legacy of a local craftsmanship.
Nomad's poufs, rugs and cushions have a very light character, precisely so that their transfer and deployment are as agile as possible, both from one place to another and within the same space. As they are made with fibres from post-consumer plastic waste, their elements are not only more sustainable, but can also be used outdoors.
The Nomad Tuareg White pouf has a drawing pattern based on small flowers, in beige and white. The other five models in the collection feature other colors and patterns with checkered, triangle, herringbone, wool knit, and geometric designs.
