This is the first collection of tapestries launched by GAN, developed in collaboration with the designer Charlotte Lancelot. Conceived from a completely artistic perspective, the tapestries of the Onda collection reinterpret the popular needle painting technique seeking a much more pictorial effect than the traditional one. Its drawing represents the undulations of waves or the earth, according to its color range, in an abstract and very dinamic way.
The tapestries of the Onda collection are pieces that move between art, design, and craftsmanship, as they are hand-embroidered using thick felt strands on large canvases. Their use as a tapestry and the technique employed allow, on the other hand, for emphasizing their irregular edges. Its typology is an allusion to the object heritage of many cultures of the world, which generates an immediate emotional connection by being a familiar and contemporary piece at the same time.
Designed as a work for contemplation that seeks to integrate nature into a space, Onda tapestries are an invitation for the mind to reconnect and find serenity. The brilliant balance between its poetics and its innovative character makes it perceived as a proposal with a contemporary language of deep expressiveness.
This is the 140 x 140 cm square tapestry in brown tones from the Onda collection. It is also available in two other sizes, 260 x 166 cm and 80 x 140 cm, as well as in blue colors.
Onda is a model from our Tapestries collection
The exploration of the plastic and expressive qualities of our designs in the field of rugs and modular collections for spaces has led us to approach the tapestry as a kind of natural evolution. With this new textile typology, we jump from the floor to the walls, expanding GAN's catalog toward proposals with a powerful artistic and volumetric character, while also taking advantage of their thermal and soundproofing capabilities for spaces.
