blue china rug

Design Mapi Millet
100% New wool, cotton back
Made by GAN

The Blue China rug is an abstract design made entirely by hand using two very different techniques. On the one hand, an innovative take on chain-stitching produces an embroidery-like texture; on the other hand, hand-tufting creates a smoother and more homogeneous surface with a higher pile.

GAN has developed their own system to translate chain-stitching into a rug-making technique. First, they draw the design they want to embroider on a cloth, which is attached to a wooden frame. Using this as a reference, and with a special crochet needle, the pattern is embroidered by hand with great sharpness.

The blue and white tones in the rug are chain-stitched, while the other areas are hand-tufted. It is a creation by GAN creative director, Mapi Millet, a round format of large dimensions. Blue China is made by hand with 100% virgin wool.

GAN was born when José Gandía-Blasco reinvented his family business in the 1980s betting strongly on design and incorporating the world of rugs into their offerings. In 2004 he partnered with his friend Mapi Millet, with whom he shares close tastes and sensibilities, to reshape the brand. GAN uses a production system that preserves tradition while renewing craftsmanship allowing artisan practices to evolve and expand. GAN rugs are made by hand in India, slowly, piece by piece, by expert craftsman using some of the best natural fibers available - cotton, jute, wool - as well as recycled fibers.
