Sandra Figuerola thus reinterprets the motifs of the Ndebele homes, moving them to a textile medium and using a pattern and color palette more in line with contemporary living. The Red model combines garnet, orange, purple, green and ecru tones. The series also includes a Green version, which contains green, blue, gray and black tones. Both are available in two sizes.

Ndebele, a rug from our kilim collection

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.
