Plastic Rivers Rug by GAN
Experience the powerful representation of the global issue of plastic waste with the Plastic Rivers Rug collection by GAN. Crafted by Álvaro Catalán de Ocón and GAN, these rugs serve as a call to action, created through the art of hand-tufting and utilizing 100% recycled PET fibers.
Each rug is a scaled depiction of a highly polluted river: Ganges, Indus, Yangtze, and Niger. The paradoxical beauty of these rugs lies in their origins - showcasing the transformation of natural wonders into landfills that contribute to ocean pollution.
Through this collection, GAN and Álvaro Catalán de Ocón aim to raise awareness and combat the pressing problem of plastic waste through exquisite craftsmanship.
