Ganges is a large-format model made using the hand-tufted technique, which allows the creation of the necessary volumes with the yarns to represent the specific topography of the place where each of these rivers flows. The threads used in its manufacture come, in turn, from 100% recycled PET plastic fibers and are recyclable at the end of their useful life. Ganges is a rug that is entirely handmade in workshops in India. A design that is a manifesto in itself, launched from the field of craftsmanship against the excesses of the industrial age. Completing the collection are the Indus model, with the same rectangular format as Ganges but a slightly smaller size; Yangtze, a large, elongated format, like a runner rug; and Niger, with a circular shape.
