mangas original mini caramelo rug
Design Patricia Urquiola
New wool hand loom
Made by GAN
The development of Mangas Original took four years of research, in which GAN had to find the tools and create the complex work method that allows the weaving of these pieces on a manual loom, despite their changing textures, threads, and widths.
Patricia Urquiola took as aesthetic reference the classic knitted wool sweater, to design a collection with lots of volume that could combine different textures. Some rug models have a very elongated shape and large dimensions, others are of medium or small size. All of them can be combined as if they were modular pieces. In addition, they can also be hung on the wall as a tapestry, and in the case of larger pieces, some can cover part of the floor and the wall at the same time.
This is the Mini Caramelo rug from the Mangas Original collection, a piece of small dimensions that can be used individually or in combination with the other mini-sized rugs of the collection to configure a larger rug. This design blends six different textures and techniques, each made with different tones.
