In addition, the thick gray wool yarns used in this model are marbled, that is, they combine strands of different colors into one yarn thread. Therefore, the areas with a greater presence of gray tones actually show a varied range of color and are somewhat blurred, while the areas made with the rust-colored or white yarn are perceived as solid.
Cuadros is made by hand on manually operated looms, using 100% New Zealand wool. It is available in three sizes.
Cuadros, a rug from our Hand Loom collection
Deepening the possibilities offered by hand-operated looms, at GAN we have gone a step further by exploring not only the traditional flat hand-loom designs, but also elements with high volume, practically three-dimensional, using pure virgin wool that is knotted, cut, braided or looped.
Cuadros is a proposal from the GAN design team
At GAN, we develop our collections with external designers with whom we identify and share our philosophy: sensitivity for artisanal craft, experimental attitude and a personal style in contemporary proposals. In addition, our team also produces its own designs. Sometimes, they are the result of a custom design project, but other times they arise during the research phase for other manufacturing processes. The creative direction in both cases is led by our director, Mapi Millet, who has extensive experience as a textile designer.
