This piece works well on any type of flooring, but thanks to its coloring it is especially indicated on dark floors that could use a little brightness. The Degrade series also includes the Petrol-Wine model, which features a gradient that goes from wine tones to petroleum blue. Both are available in three sizes and are made entirely with 100% virgin wool.

Degrade, a rug from our hand-knotted collection

The hand-knotted technique is a manual rug-making method that allows for extremely detailed designs, precisely because rugs are made knot by knot. It is a very laborious technique and, consequently, it offers great flexibility. Bearing this peculiarity in mind, we at GAN create hand-knotted designs with both uniform patterns as well as with apparent randomness.

Patricia Urquiola, author of Degrade

Patricia Urquiola is an architect and designer of Spanish origin who settled in Italy after graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1989. After working with Italian masters of design such as Achille Castiglioni or Vico Magistretti, she founded her own studio in 2001. Since then, she has tackled very diverse projects, from furniture and lighting to ephemeral installations or the integral design of hotels. Her sensitivity to traditional handmade objects and international cooperation in the field of handmade productions led to the start of a fruitful collaboration in 2004 with GAN, which continues to this day.
