Mediterranean family enterprise, Gandia Blasco Group is  renowned for crafting outdoor furniture and rugs made with particular attention to craftsmanship, material exploration, and notable designer collaborations. Originating in Valencia, Spain, the Group operates through its three distinctive brands, GANDIABLASCO, GAN, and Diabla, each contributing a distinct persona to the company’s offerings.

GANDIABLASCO’s puffy comfort

Under the GANDIABLASCO umbrella, the ERNO collection pays homage to the renowned Hungarian designer Ernő Rubik, translating the playful essence of the Rubik’s cube into a series of versatile poufs. Crafted with quilted, grid-shaped fabric, the modular ERNO pouf system encourages dynamic seating arrangements suited to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Complemented by backrests and armrests, these pieces offer plenty of possibilities for creating adaptable environments. For outdoor arrangements, their quick-drying Gravidry® foam padding is breathable and highly moisture-resistant due to its draining qualities.

Additionally, the GANDIABLASCO GBmodular extension stands out for its flexible construction technique, leveraging the clipping ability between extruded recyclable aluminum profiles to mix and match units. Complemented by an aluminum knot mechanism and stainless steel bolts, the system enables the creation of diverse configurations, from armchairs and two-seater sofas to low tables, mirrors, bookshelves, and sideboards. Designed to suit a variety of environments, the GBMODULAR collection emphasizes durability, resistance, and ease of maintenance. Utilizing technical fabrics from esteemed brands like Kvadrat and Sunbrella, along with 100% recycled and recyclable PET fabrics from Reviva, each piece ensures both aesthetic appeal and sustainable longevity.

GAN: celebrating versatility

Another brand in the Gandia Blasco Group, GAN, celebrates the art of versatility with its MANGAS OUTDOOR collection, conceptualized by renowned designer Patricia Urquiola. Drawing inspiration from hand-knitted wool jumpers, the MANGAS series translates the warm vibe of knitted wool to outdoor environments through the use of braided recycled PET fibers. Both the square poufs and seating modules are constructed entirely from recycled PET sourced from plastic bottles, filled with quick-drying foam rubber of varying densities. Engineered to withstand outdoor elements such as humidity and UV rays, these pieces boast removable covers for easy maintenance, ensuring longevity and practicality.

Jorge Garaje’s inaugural collaboration with GAN, the CITRUS collection, is a vibrant tribute to three iconic members of the citrus fruit family. Crafted from 100% recycled and reclaimed PET fibers in India, where all GAN collections are meticulously handmade, these outdoor kilims showcase the essence of oranges, limes, and lemons in intricate detail. The rounded contours of the fruits are layered to create a captivating sense of depth, accentuated by a graphic grid reminiscent of the mesh bags traditionally used for their display.

Diabla: the theatrical side of outdoor design

As the youngest brand in the Gandia Blasco Group, Diabla channels the enchantment of movie theaters into its outdoor designs. Creative Director Alejandra Gandía-Blasco draws inspiration from the golden years of cinema, infusing the PATOSO seating collection with a sense of nostalgia and whimsy. Inspired by the iconic Daisy Theater in Memphis, Tennessee, the PATOSO seats combine harlequin charm with exceptional comfort. Adorned with vibrant fabrics inspired by Commedia dell’Arte, these 4-legged poufs add a touch of theatricality to outdoor settings, earning recognition from the NYCxDesign Awards, DNA Paris Awards, and Archiproducts Awards.
