Gandía Blasco was founded in 1941 as a Valencian family firm primarily engaged in manufacturing traditional blankets and quilts, which it did for over 40 years. In the mid-1980x, it made a product shift to innovative, well-designed home textiles and furniture. The things that Gandía Blasco designs and manufactures all share common attributes: they are modern, fresh and full of character. Outdoor living and all that entails by way of furniture, accessories, lighting, and so on is currently the companys most important segment.
