NOVELTY
GAN: WEAVE by Helena Rohner

Helena Rohner’s creative passion, jewelry making, has expanded over the years into the design of objects suitable for household use. And rugs are no exception. Now, with the WEAVE collection in collaboration with GAN and its artisans in India, Rohner materializes an open and risky creative concept with wool and color as the main protagonists.

The result is an object of contemporary design and craftsmanship in which there is room for both
pure mathematics and the magic of the effects of light, and which connects Rohner’s vision and core with the gaze and hands of the artisans who make it.

Blends of textures, geometric patterns, vibrant and powdery colors

The main inspiration in WEAVE is to highlight the different types of mathematical sequences that can be carried out on a handloom through a suggestive collage of textures and geometric patterns of clashing colors. The shapes and colors of the rugs in the collection are arranged in the warp as if they were a work of abstract art. But it is worth examining each piece closely to discover that the weave at certain times varies, even within a single color block. This modifies its texture, bringing different depths to the colors, an effect that is difficult to achieve with other media.
