About the company The company GANDIA BLASCO, which is nowadays known for its

outdoor furniture line, was set up in 1941 as a family business,

manufacturing blankets. In the mid-1980s, it made a product shift to

innovative, well-designed home textiles and furniture. New product

lines share the same values and attributes: they all combine the biggest

comfort in functionality with an extremely high aesthetic component.

These factors helped towards the consolidation of the expansion

business strategy and thus to stand out as a worldwide leader in

outdoor design furniture.

Products

The company has currently two product lines: outdoor furniture, which

is distributed under the brand GANDIA BLASCO, and textiles (rugs and

duvet covers) with the newly created brand GAN RUGS. In spite of the

diversity of styles and shapes, all of these products share the same

basic concept: fresh products, with highest quality materials, elegant,

functional and with different and exclusive designs that make them

unique. Ideas and shapes that are not a mere response to home

situations, but combine warm, contemporary, striking or surprising

designs that define a lifestyle.

Outdoor furniture, the cornerstone of the company, is currently made

up by more than 20 collections comprising nearly 300 different

products. The catalogue of the company covers each and every need of

outdoor spaces and it is being constantly expanded, trying to solve

new approaches or any detected gap.

JIAN Collection

3

JIAN is a collection of outdoor furniture inspired by the concept of “in-

between” conveyed by the Chinese JIAN character. JIAN is one of the two

characters that forms the words “space, time and people”, among many others.

NERI & HU, who designed this JIAN for GANDIA BLASCO, wanted to create a

collection with a marked ethereal quality, capturing both time and space, the

sky and the land, something to give poetry to outdoor living, and offer a

restful sanctuary to everyday business. Made of thermo-lacquered aluminium

and Solid Surface plate, the collection is made up of various sizes and

functions for different outdoor uses. It includes: armchairs, sofas, modular

sofas, poufs and low tables. Frames are available in different colours (white,

bronze, sand and anthracite) as well as the removable fabric covers.

DOCKS Collection

DOCKS is a modular, open and flexible furniture collection that takes into

account the interaction between the pieces and the human body. Cushions

and supports are placed over a light, stackable and easily transportable

aluminum structure to create more complex sofas, beds and rest areas.

Made of anodized or thermo-lacquered aluminium, DOCKS consists of three

basic pieces which allow endless compositions: poufs, beds, sofas, in many

sizes and shapes. The removable fabric covers are offered in a wide choice of

colours. Available frame colours include anodized, white, bronze, sand and

anthracite.

STACK Collection

Made of thermo-lacquered aluminium profiles, phenolic plate and Batyline fabric,

STACK is a stackable outdoor furniture collection inspired by the nautical world

with design elements that recall the 60’s and 70’s. The collection’s clean and

straightforward structures, along with the materials used, give shape to simple,

balanced and incredibly light pieces. GANDIA BLASCO’s innovative design uses

self-supporting fabric over the extruded aluminum body to provide this simple

construction with lightness and comfort. Frames are available in different colour

configurations: white, sand, bronze, anthracite, coral, turquoise and pistachio.

colours!

designed by

Ana Llobet

Made of 100% recyclable polyethylene and powder coated galvanized steel, the

ergonomic TEXTILE chair is a creation of young designer Ana Llobet who drew

inspiration from sewing techniques and the world of fashion. Parts are joined together

in the same way seams are stitched in clothes. This allows to obtain an item with great

flexibility that adapts to everyone, the same way as a fashion garment. Available in

white, bronze and sand, the collection includes armchairs, dining chairs, benches, low

tables and stools. To maximize personalization, ropes are offered in a wide choice of

colours: white, sand, grey, burgundy, green, blue, navy, brown and black.

ARAM Collection

7

designed by

Nendo

Totally handmade, ARAM is a unique collection of stools and low tables

based on the traditional Indian furniture technique of weaving metal wires

around a metal frame. The spacing among the wires increases gradually,

creating a gradation effect. It features 4 pieces – two stools and two tables

– that can be chosen in different colours: white, taupe, sand, bronze, green,

yellow and anthracite.

Espacios

Gan!

designed by

Patricia Urquiola

Created by Patricia Urquiola for GAN, BANDAS is a new indoor concept

that takes modularity and versatility to the limit. Focal point of these new

spaces are the attractive rugs that come in different sizes and colours and

are amazingly patterned with oversized stitches forming different grids

across the surfaces. The textile strips are also used to upholster the

modular seats, poufs and the accessories of the collection. All the pieces

are interchangeable in order to adapt to any space, personality and

mood… Life changes and BANDAS changes with you!
