LANA MANGAS DESIGN BY PATRICIA URQUIOLA
A
Patricia Urquiola's Lana Mangas collection for Gan, a
division of the Gandia Blasco design brand, comprises modular components
that can be arranged in a variety of configurations. The range includes
cross-shaped rugs that form an interlocking floor covering. A seating module
with a small backrest can be combined with square and rectangular poufs to form
flexible seating arrangements. The
designer selected a palette of yellow, coral, pink, grey and ivory for the
collection.
Gan is launching a new concept: Gan Spaces. One rug, one image,
endless possibilities. The rug is the starting point, the main concept, and now
you have the option to elaborate on its design by adding coordinating cushions,
poufs and accessories.
The first of its kind, the Mangas collection revolutionised the rug
industry. An exceptional design by a unique designer, Patricia Urquiola is now
expanding the collection by presenting Mangas spaces. With the same
texture and comfort of the rug collection, the spaces collection is comprised
of modular components that can used interchangeably to create a multitude of
different configurations. The combination of the rugs and modules will
guarantee a warm and harmonious environment. Modular pieces creating different
compositions and ambiences.
