Our La Geria-Lanzarote rug is a tribute to the unusual form of viticulture of this Canary Island, whose artisan production connects with the essence of GAN. Seeking to adapt to an inhospitable soil and wind, the vines of La Geria are planted in individual hollows of volcanic gravel, protected by a semicircular stone wall.

Product description

Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands where its volcanic origin is most visible due to the volume and intensity of its eruptions, so close in time. It can be said that few places are so interfered with by their context. Its inhabitants have adapted to the lava terrain, incorporating it at an architectural level and in their daily activity, thus generating the exceptional form of viticulture of La Geria.
The spectacular landscape that characterises these vineyards, with its striking contrast of anthracite and green colours, has inspired José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales to create a rug that reproduces such a unique crop using the hand tufted technique, which allows different volumes to be executed in the same piece, thus managing to simulate hollows and vines.
La Geria-Lanzarote is a rug available in two formats: rectangular, in two sizes (166x247 cm and 195x306 cm), and round (Ø250cm). It can also be customised in special sizes. It is made entirely of wool, with the reverse in cotton.

José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales

José Antonio Gandía-Blasco Canales was born in Ontinyent, Valencia. After studying law at the Valencia University, he joined the family business GANDIA BLASCO, a blanket manufacturer.

After travelling throughout Spain as a business agent, he began to take on responsibilities in the company. With the help of Marisa Gallén and Sandra Figuerola, designers, Gandía Blasco reshaped the image of the company. The current logo was created, the silhouette of a graceful kitten, as well as the first reversible design carpet collection, which later received the IMPIVA Award 1990 for innovation.
