This is the Round Burgundy rug from the Nuances collection, a series made using a new type of felt that simulates the texture of stone and is reminiscent of granite. Its format is also innovative, since one of its corners is transformed into a semicircle to accommodate the curve taken by the stripes of its design. This model combines a large gray area with stripes in raw wool tones, two shades of pink, and garnet. As a decorative detail, the seams are hand-embroidered with viscose. You can also combine it with a pouf in the same tones, as a casual seat.

The Nuances collection is an innovative proposal by designer Patricia Urquiola for GAN, not only because of its impressive aesthetics, but also because it reinvents an exceptionally versatile, warm and malleable material such as felt. So much so, that the starting point of this collection was to achieve an agglomerate material that would allow wool fibers to be recycled, developing a type of felt with a novel look that could be made in an artisanal way. Nuances was developed, from the beginning, with a sustainability goal in mind, aiming at reusing and giving a second life to leftover materials from other productions, which would otherwise end in landfill or damage the environment.

The stony character of the Nuances collection is the result of research carried out by Patricia Urquiola. The designer devised three geometric rug designs that come in different formats and can be linked with each other to create compositions of large dimensions - even on vertical planes. Complementing the rugs, large matching poufs create an apparent continuous three-dimensionality to the design, with sinuous volumes as if it were a natural landscape.
