New textile horizons: between the geometry of nature and artisanal emotion
At GAN, our brand with a textile essence, we are deploying five new collections this year that explore contemporary know-how and challenge the limits of signature design. For us, each piece is a visual journey that transcends the material, connecting the art of weaving with the sensitivity of today’s habitat through the vision of international designers.
We present ONDA, a collection designed by Charlotte Lancelot that brings the fluid rhythm of nature into the heart of the home. Inspired by organic movements and Hokusai’s famous wave, this proposal is born from a fascination with waves as invisible mechanisms of energy.
As its creator says: “Onda is inspired by the organic movements of nature. This tapestry was designed, above all, as a work for contemplation.” Through innovative research with yarns and grids, we have managed to capture gradations and transparencies that invite calm and reconnection.
With NEW ORIGINS, by designer Aline de Laforcade, we return to essential materials and gestures where structure and sensation coexist in balance. It is a collection that explores the continuity between ancestral knowledge and contemporary design, inspired by the tactile landscapes of the Mediterranean and life in Ibiza.
Its designer defines it with precision: “Origins are not static; they evolve through materials and gestures. Rather than reproducing the past, I am interested in giving continuity to its spirit.” The use of jute and wool celebrates the imperfection of natural fiber, bringing a minimalist and solid warmth to spaces.
Our commitment to biodiversity and biological efficiency comes from the hand of José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales with the PANAL collection. Part of our most exclusive line, GAN EDITION, this series pays tribute to the hexagonal structures of beehives.
For its creator, bees are “invisible engineers who sustain the biodiversity of our planet.” Centered on the visual power of organic repetition and the play of shadows in relief, PANAL is a fragment of nature captured through the rigor of geometry, designed to transform the interior into a sanctuary of environmental balance.
We explore the rebirth of nature with BLOOM, designed by the biologist and architect Hilla Havkin. This collection captures the cycle of flowering, translating the vitality of flowers into a graphic and three-dimensional language over a woven grid.
Hilla describes this process as a form of magic: “To bloom is about new beginnings, resilience after a crisis, and the connection between the earth and humanity.” Crafted by the embroiderers of our GAN Women Unit, BLOOM is a harmony between Israeli design vision and artisanal mastery that gives each rug an individual and unique life.
Finally, we present ASCENSE, by the Arnau Reyna studio, a proposal where textile design stops being a static surface to become an experience of movement. Inspired by the sobriety of Nepalese landscapes, the collection uses chromatic gradients to create an illusion of depth.
As Ramón Arnau and Mariola Reyna explain: “We wanted to play with the perception of the human eye to create gradients that look like ascending ramps; a way to elevate ourselves through chromatic richness.” Through its "Earth" and "Water" universes, these pieces demonstrate that ancestral technique is a precision technology capable of materializing the most avant-garde visions.
