Gan Hand Knotted Mirage Blue Rug
HAND KNOTTED MIRAGE BLUE RUG
HAND KNOTTED MIRAGE BLUE RUG
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
This is the Blue Mirage rug, one of the three irregularly shaped rugs designed by Patricia Urquiola, which feature a combination of three stripes with gradient colors in blue and green tones.
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.

DETAIL
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
PATTERN
The alternation of color and the different orientation of the gradients generates an attractive visual game that hides a chevron-style striped pattern, only perceived from certain perspectives.

DESIGNER

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.
