Product Description

Modica Grey, a GAN Rug Kelim presents a contemporary and abstract composition based on the apparently random reproduction of basic forms. Although it might seem inspired by the flat figures that make up the pieces of a tangram, MODICA takes the street tiles as an aesthetic reference.

Kilims are soft, durable, and reversible and are produced by a hand-crafted method using only wool threads, tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands of the weave on a manual loom to produce a flat surface with no knots. The result is a lightweight fabric with no pile, similar to that of tapestries, enabling all manner of patterns and designs to be created.

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 Kelim Modica Grey rug, follow the maintenance and cleaning instructions detailed on the label on the reverse of the rug.
