Cube Gallery Present GAN Handmade Rugs
We are convinced that handmade products are the true luxury, and that the best vehicle to express a designer’s creativity is the know-how of skilled craftsmen. That is why, from the beginning, GAN has focused on the reinterpretation of traditional techniques and their application to contemporary designs.
Dreams Brianda Fitz-James Stuart
After years and following this premise, GAN has established a production system that, while preserving tradition, makes it grow, so that artisan practices evolve and contemporary design is enriched.
In GAN, rugs are not simply decorative objects, but rather a system of shapes and volumes that redefine the concept of habitability. All products are manufactured in India, by expert craftsmen who use some of the best natural fibres -cotton, jute, wool- as well as recycled fibres.
The delightful dragon motif in Blue China breathes life into its surroundings and is reminiscent of ancient Chinese earthenware designs. Handmade from 100% new wool.
The artisanal manufacture of these collections supports the economic development of the area where they are made. Over the years, GAN has established a production system which, while preserving tradition, renews craftsmanship thanks to its connection with contemporary design. In this way, the artisan practice evolves and the design expands its horizons.
Most of the collections are made with natural materials such as wool and jute. Both are obtained with no animal suffering and are excellent insulators, which helps reduce energy consumption and reduce environmental noise. On the other hand, some of GAN’s collections are manufactured using recycled materials, such as Nuances by Patricia Urquiola and Diamond by Charlotte Lancelot.

The value of what is made by hand, slowly, piece by piece, is what differentiates and defines GAN. So, if you’re looking for something with significance and true craftsmanship, shop the GAN collections now available from Cube Gallery.
