The design is no great mystery: on the one hand, a set of lines in pink semicircles generates three quarters of a sphere, extending its ends to different heights. On the other, a set of parallel lines in maroon tones partially intermingles with those of the sphere, originating an area with a denser pattern. The Ply series also includes two other models: a large-format rug in yellow tones, and an elongated runner in blue tones.

Ply, a rug from our Hand-Tufted collection

Hand-tufting is a manual rug-making method in which a special handheld tool shoots and cuts a portion of wool following a pattern over a stretched cotton fabric. This technique offers great freedom in terms of designs, thicknesses, finishes and colors. With it, GAN makes possible the impossible.

MUT Design, designers of Ply

Founded by Alberto Sánchez and Eduardo Villalón in 2010, MUT Design is a Valencia-based studio that works internationally, specializing in furniture and lighting design. Although they are mostly known for their creations in these two fields, throughout their career they have also addressed other typologies, such as coverings, textiles and even graphic work. In fact, their style stands out precisely because of the important graphic character that their designs convey, which over time has become the studio’s signature, proving their extraordinary talent to redefine the aesthetics of everyday objects, giving them a new expression and emotional magnitude.
