Illustrator and print designer from Madrid. She has collaborated with a multitude of brands, as well as in projects as diverse as designing a watch for Swatch, being an illustrator for Gucci, painting ceramics, creating prints, wallpapers, illustrating books…. No media is left untouched! Her illustrations have starred in exhibitions in places like Japan and have earned the favor of thousands of followers on Instagram.
An innovative feature that this collection incorporates is that it uses a mixture of two techniques in its preparation, which provide two different textures and reliefs to the Dreams rugs. On the one hand, the green tone of the background is made using the hand-tufted technique, so its surface has a greater volume, it is fluffy and homogeneous. On the other hand, the daisies are executed by means of chain stitch embroidery, with visible stitches and at a slightly lower height.
To transfer chain stitch embroidery to a rug, we at GAN have developed our own system. First, we draw the design we want to embroider on a fabric, which is attached to a frame. Using it as a reference and with a special crochet hook, the pattern is hand-embroidered on the rug with great sharpness.
On the other hand, hand-tufting is a manual method of making rugs that is carried out on a stretched cotton fabric onto which, with a tool similar to a pistol, a portion of wool is shot and cut following a pattern. It is one of the techniques that offers the most freedom in terms of designs, thicknesses, finishes and colors. With it, at GAN we make possible the impossible.
The Dreams White Daisy Green model is made with wool and its reverse is made of cotton. It is available in two sizes. The collection also includes another rug in natural tones, which combines floral illustrations with medieval-style faces.
