HAND KNOTTED MIRAGE ORANGE rug
HAND KNOTTED MIRAGE ORANGE
This is the Orange Mirage rug, in green and orange tones, one of the three rugs with irregular edges designed by Patricia Urquiola using a rotating combination of three stripes with gradient colors.
The alternating shades in this design and the different orientation of the color gradients generate a powerful visual game that hides a chevron-type striped pattern, which can only be perceived from certain perspectives.
As if it were fabric under a microscope, or a colorful and impossible wooden floor, the design of the Mirage rugs transmits a powerful optical effect, an illusion -as its name suggests.
The Orange version, in particular, is the most suitable option for luminous rooms, and it may even be used as a tapestry on the wall. It is a piece knotted by hand and entirely made with New Zealand wool.

DETAILS
The hand-knotted technique is a manual method of rug production that allows for incredibly detailed designs, precisely because each knot is knotted by hand. It is a very laborious technique and, consequently, it offers a great flexibility. Bearing this peculiarity in mind, at GAN we create hand-knotted rugs both with uniform designs and with an apparent randomness in their patterns

PATRICIA URQUIOLA, DESIGNER OF THE MIRAGE COLLECTION
Patricia Urquiola is an architect and designer of Spanish origin who settled in Italy after graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1989. After working with Italian masters of design such as Achille Castiglioni or Vico Magistretti, she founded her own studio in 2001. Since then, she has tackled very diverse projects, from furniture and lighting to ephemeral installations or the integral design of hotels.
Her sensitivity to traditional handmade objects and international cooperation in the field of handmade productions led to the start of a fruitful collaboration in 2004 with GAN, which continues to this day.
