Momos Gan Rugs: Three-Dimensional Embroidery Inspired by Nature
The Inspiration: A Journey to Maranhão
The Momos Gan Rugs collection stems from a distant and evocative memory of José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales. During a trip through northern Brazil, in the state of Maranhão, the designer was captivated by a centuries-old local textile tradition. The central motif of the collection draws inspiration from the perfect geometry of butterfly eggs (Nymphalis antiopia), a natural detail reinterpreted in a contemporary key. Momos is not just a rug, but a cultural bridge connecting Brazilian inspiration, Spanish design, and Indian artisanal mastery.
Technique and Social Impact: The Gan's Women Unit Embroidery
The distinctive value of Momos lies in its complex production technique. Each piece is enriched with three-dimensional embroidery performed on a wool fabric base. This craftsmanship is entrusted to the Gan's Women Unit, a social initiative of the brand that employs expert embroiderers in India, ensuring their economic independence. The artisans use felted wool to create volumes reminiscent of hypnotic flowers, offering an exceptional tactile and visual experience. For its social and environmental impact, the collection won the prestigious NYCxDesign Award in the "Greater Good" category.
Premium Materials and Enveloping Texture
The collection is made entirely of 100% wool, a material chosen for its natural warmth and resilience. The combination of wool fabric with felted wool embroidery creates a surface rich in volumes that reach a total height of approximately 19 mm. This thickness, combined with a weight of 2.2 kg/m², gives the rug superior softness, making it perfect for creating absolute relaxation zones within the home.
Color Variants and Modular Dimensions
Momos Gan Rugs was conceived as a complete furnishing system, available in two sophisticated shades:
- Camel: A warm, natural nuance that recalls earth tones.
- Anthracite: A deep, elegant grey, ideal for modern and minimalist contexts.
In addition to the rugs, available in standard 170x240 cm and 200x300 cm formats, the collection includes coordinated poufs (61x61x37 cm) and cushions (48x30 cm), allowing for the configuration of casual and coordinated rest environments.
