Product Description

Mirage Orange, a Gan rug in ochre and orange tones, with irregular edges designed by Patricia Urquiola using a rotating combination of three stripes with gradient colours. The alternating shades in this design and the different orientation of the colour gradients generate a powerful visual game that hides a chevron-type striped pattern, which can only be perceived from certain perspectives.

As if it were fabric under a microscope, or a colorful and impossible wooden floor, the design of the Mirage rugs transmits a powerful optical effect, an illusion -as its name suggests. The Orange version, in particular, is the most suitable option for luminous rooms, and it may even be used as a tapestry on the wall.

It is a piece knotted by hand and entirely made with New Zealand wool approx 12mm high

The hand-knotted technique is a manual method of rug production that allows for incredibly detailed designs, precisely because each knot is knotted by hand. It is a very laborious technique and, consequently, it offers a great flexibility. Bearing this peculiarity in mind, at GAN we create hand-knotted rugs both with uniform designs and with an apparent randomness in their patterns

GAN has been at the forefront of innovative and contemporary textile production since the 1940s.

Their rugs are aimed at those looking for something unique and individual for their home, an antidote to mass production, and are handmade by expert artisans, using traditional techniques that have been renewed and updated thanks to the creativity of internationally renowned designers.

Manual manufacturing processes and the use of natural materials are two of the most distinctive features of GAN products, with an aim of minimizing the impact on the environment from the initial design stage onwards. When sourcing natural materials, such as wool, cotton, linen, silk or jute, they select those that have been obtained sustainably and locally and minimize the dyeing cycles as much as possible. At GAN, manufacturing processes are linked to essentially rural communities, and in this way, they support their social and economic development through activities that do not pollute.

GAN products are handcrafted and made from 100% natural or recycled fibres and their manual manufacture may lead to small variations in size or colour with respect to the original design. These variations are not manufacturing defects and do not affect the quality of the product.

The maximum variation in size is 5%, both in width and in length.

The colour applied to natural materials and subjected to different conditions of light, humidity and temperature may suffer alterations compared to the original design. The calibration on a screen may produce differences in colour between the images and the real rugs.

Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause discolouration.

Due to the natural origin of the fibres used, rugs tend to produce fluff. With high-pile designs, this phenomenon can last a considerable amount of time. Frequent vacuuming is recommended. If vacuuming causes some threads to stretch, they may be evened out with scissors.

Waviness or shading may appear on short-pile designs such as hand tufted or hand loomed rugs, producing the sensation of colour changes in certain areas. This is due to the movement, inclination or pressure that the rug surface has gone through during production and/or packaging.

These effects will disappear with use and regular care. They are not a manufacturing defect and do not affect quality or durability.

To guarantee a long product life for your GAN Mirage Orange rug, follow the maintenance and cleaning instructions detailed on the label on the reverse of the rug.
