Mangas, from the Spanish word for ‘sleeves’, is a collection of rugs designed by Patricia Urquiola for the Spanish textile company Gandia Blasco. These rugs come in a variety of shapes and colours, and look like hand-knitted sweaters laid flat. For this collection, Patricia Urquiola drew inspiration from woollen patchwork patterns created using various stitches, giving the effect of different knits assembled together. These rugs are 100% hand-made and come in the shape of a balloon, bell, and a small lantern. Some are stretched, and all are part of the brand’s Gan Rugs collection. The Mangas collection has won numerous international design awards since its launch in 2009.
