The Diamond collection is made with recycled PET fibers, so the rugs can be used both indoors and outdoors. Although these fibers come from plastic, they are very soft to the touch and are so light that they can be manipulated in manual looms that are used to manufacture kilim rugs. This sustainable manufacturing process gives new life to plastic waste, turning it into innovative designs, as spectacular as those in the Diamond series.

Diamond, 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.

After graduating in 2003, she worked at the office of architect and designer Alain Berteau for two years, before founding her own studio.
