Charlotte Lancelot was born in Brussels in 1980 and studied at the Escuela Nacional Superior de la Cambre where she qualified in Industrial Design in 2003. She worked with architect and designer Alain Berteau for two years before setting up her own studio, with which she took part in the Milan Satellite Trade Show in 2006. The same year she was chosen by Wallpaper magazine to organise the Global édit 06 exhibition in the Armani Theatre during Designweek. She has taken part in numerous trade fairs and national exhibition, mainly in the context of the 100% designed in Brussels selection. She collaborates with companies such as Ligne Roset, Koziol, Konstantin, Slawinki, Kidslab, Easyoga….
The pictorial language of the Onda collection represents the undulations of waves or the earth, depending on its color range, in an abstract and very vibrant way. It is a tapestry designed as a work for contemplation, which seeks to integrate nature into a space, inviting the mind to reconnect and find serenity.
Onda tapestries have been conceived, therefore, from a completely artistic perspective, for which the designer Charlotte Lancelot has reinterpreted the popular needle painting technique seeking a much more pictorial effect than the traditional one. Nevertheless, they are pieces that move between design, art, and craftsmanship, as they are crafted with the embroidery technique 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.
The balance between its innovative character and its poetics makes them perceived as a highly singular and contemporary proposal. This is, in fact, the first collection of tapestries launched by GAN, a typology with which we have sought to make an allusion to the object heritage of many cultures of the world, fostering an emotional connection.
This is the vertical model in brown tones from the Onda collection (80 x 140 cm). It is also available in blue colors, as well as in two other sizes: 260 x 166 cm and 140 x 140 cm.

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.
