Odosdesign creates Gan’s new rug, Duna

Spanish rug brand Gan has just unveiled its reversible rug, Duna, created by design studio Odosdesign

Duna is woven using the kilim technique originally deployed by nomadic Persian tribes. It’s inspired by a combination and superimposition of similar translucent lines reminiscent of watercolours, mixing lines and creating a monochrome screen that simulates 3D forms. The rug’s blend of grey tones, superimposition of lines and detail of coral-coloured backstitch makes it suitable for every type of space — be it a living room, bedroom or waiting room. María Mengual, one of the piece’s designers, says, ‘Duna is the result of applying a geometric graphic motif to the design of a rug, of aiming to produce a rug in neutral colours, which will suit elegant, Mediterranean-style interiors, mimic Arabic kilims and simulate desert dunes, while looking much more European and modern.’

Founded in Valencia in 2015, Odosdesign stands out for its comprehensive service, multidisciplinary character and ability to undertake complete design projects for companies and institutions. It covers all their needs, offering product design, graphic design, art direction, branding and video and web design. It’s worked for such well-known domestic and contract design companies as Actiu, Inbani, Gandia Blasco, Punt Mobles and Arlex, among other firms. And for Gan, it’s created many other rug designs such as the Naidu, Trama, Kenia and Etnia rugs, among others. 

Gan comprises all the textile-based collections of the company Gandia Blasco, which was founded in Valencia in 1941. Its rugs are hand-made using 100 per cent natural wool by Indian master craftspeople fully versed in the techniques and processes needed to make enduring, high-quality products.
