The Panal collection is a series of artisanal rugs inspired by the perfection of the architectures that bees build and their capacity, as invisible engineers, to sustain biodiversity and environmental balance. Its rich variety of shades provides the necessary nuances to reproduce the heterogeneity of honey tones and the volumetry that honeycombs have—a complex and dense structure of colors that is only possible to achieve with the artisanal hand-knotting technique.
The Panal collection goes beyond being a tribute to the perfect geometry that bees achieve through the hexagon, as it is also, by extension, a tribute to all animals that create authentic works of highly efficient architecture, such as birds with their nests or spiders with their webs. A tribute to architectures created by animals, since the human being is not the only architect animal, as the Finnish thinker Juhani Pallasmaa defends.
The Panal collection is part of our GAN EDITION series: rugs that are handcrafted in Nepal with the hand-knotted technique using 100% New Zealand wool, as hand-knotting is the most appropriate technique to achieve its level of perfection, in the same way that bees do when they build their honeycombs.
Panal is a rug for use in interior spaces available in two sizes, 172 x 247 cm and 218 x 312 cm, as well as in a round format.
Panal is a model from our premium GAN EDITION line.
With GAN EDITION, we promote the fusion between contemporary creation and ancestral traditional crafts from various cultures. The result is proposals with an exceptional and innovative design because they are made with techniques as meticulous and complex as hand knotted, specific to the artisans of Nepal. Their mastery in the meticulous dyeing of yarn, thread by thread, with which they achieve more than 200 color nuances, combined with the manual knotting technique, makes each GAN EDITION design reach an astonishing definition, allowing for fluid and organic color transitions that are only achieved with the patience of knot-by-knot work.
