A beautifully textured rug design emerges from designer Jose A Gandía-Blasco Canales who drew inspiration from ing-shaped sweets—more specifically, the design pays homage to Life Savers, a popular brand of American circular candy. The amazingly intricate Chimos rug, which was designed for the popular Spanish brand Gan, is cheeky, playful, and eye-catching in its aesthetic.
The Chimos rug is available in two colorways, including green and red. Gan also manufactures the textured rug design in two sizes. The piece displays meticulous attention to detail and stunning craftsmanship. Made from hand-tufted and carved pure wool, the rugs offer a soft texture that is pleasing to the touch. Each ring component showcases subtle color variations, adding moments of surprise and movement.
