The rugs in the Panal collection are a true tribute to the perfect geometry that bees achieve through the hexagon. A design that takes inspiration from the extraordinary architectures that bees construct, and that also pays homage to their capacity, as invisible engineers, to maintain environmental balance and biodiversity.
To reproduce the heterogeneity of honey tones and the volumetry that honeycombs have, this collection is handcrafted knot by knot, as its complex and dense structure of colors is only possible through this technique—the most suitable for achieving its level of perfection, in the same way that bees do. It is part of our GAN EDITION series: rugs that are handcrafted in Nepal using the hand-knotted technique employing 100% New Zealand wool.
Bees are not the only architects of the animal world, nor are humans, as defended by the Finnish thinker Juhani Pallasmaa, since many other animals perform authentic works of highly efficient architecture, such as birds with their nests or spiders with their webs. By extension, the Panal collection is a tribute to all this natural wonder.
The round model of the Panal collection measures 260 cm in diameter and is intended for use in interior spaces. It is also available in a rectangular format in two sizes: 172 x 247 cm and 218 x 312 cm.
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.
