canada rug

This is the Canadá rug from the GAN kilim collection, with a certain seventies flair visible in its design and color palette. Using circles, hexagons and diamonds, designer Sandra Figuerola has created a pattern in which these three geometric shapes alternate over and over, reminiscent of seventies tile floors or wallpaper. Although this motif is repeated as a pattern, the color of each geometric element changes, alternating four tones. As a detail, and license to the overall symmetry in the piece, two of the sides are accented with a fringe-like stripe, each woven in its own way. It is available in three sizes.

The kilim is an artisan method of rug making in which the weft is tightly woven on a manual loom, using only threads and no knotting. The result is a light fabric with no pile, similar to that of upholstery. It is a technique that offers great flexibility, a feature that GAN explores thoroughly to create high-impact details.
