Gan Nuances Round Volcano Rug
NUANCES ROUND VOLCANO RUG
NUANCES ROUND VOLCANO RUG
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
The Round Volcano rug from the Nuances collection is a design with an unusual format, since one of its corners is transformed into a semicircle to house the curve taken by its stripes in ecru, orange beige, blue and charcoal gray tones.
Conceived by Patricia Urquiola, this series is made using a new type of felt, developed by the designer in collaboration with GAN, which simulates a stone’s texture, reminiscent of granite.
As a subtle decorative detail, the seams are hand-embroidered with viscose. You can expand its dimensions by pairing it with the Line Volcano or Curve Volcano models, or combine it with a pouf in the same tones, which works as a casual seat.

NUANCES, A GAN SPACES COLLECTION
GAN spaces are collections meticulously constructed from innovative concepts and artisanal production methods. Suggestive proposals that, stemming from a rug, are capable of bringing to life a whole family of modules and accessories with which to design an environment or “space”. A set of designs linked together, designed to project stimulating and contemporary atmospheres with an open, flexible and casual configuration.
DETAIL
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.
DESIGNER - PATRICIA URQUIOLA
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.
