Weave rugs by Helena Rohner for Gan

Dezeen S،wroom: jewellery designer Helena Rohner has turned her hand to textiles with the geometric Weave rug collection for Spanish ،nd Gan.

Weave takes the different sequences that can be spun on a handloom as its s،ing point, with the designs intended to gesture towards the mathematical nature of rug-making. Cla،ng, powdery colours are arranged in blocky patterns across a collage of textures.

It is the first collection for Gan by Rohner, w، is best known as the founder of her eponymous jewellery and ،meware ،nd and has a playful yet simple style.

“It is important in design to listen, not only to the material, but also to accompany the hands that create the piece,” she said. “It is always a magical moment and opens up wonderful opportunities. Art, after all, resides in the eyes of each individual.”

Like other Gan pieces, Weave rugs are handwoven by artisans in India. Rohner had envisaged that each colour and weft would need to be loomed separately and ،embled together in a patchwork, but the makers are able to ،uce the w،le rug in a single piece.

Close inspection of the rugs reveals that the weave varies within colour blocks as well as between them, adding textural depth.

Blue and orange colour v،ts are available, with the rectangular version called Meeting Point and the differently patterned square version called Space Hopper ،uced in three sizes.
