GAN is the indoor brand of Gandia Blasco Group, a spanish company founded in 1941, and also its starting point…
José Gandia-Blasco, president & creative director of Gandia Blasco Group, reinvented his family business after a journey of four decades, at the end of the 1980s. True to the origin of the company, José developed new textile lines for the home, betting strongly on design and incorporating the world of rugs into the offering. This is how the original GAN ​​was born. 

In 2004 José decided to start collaborating with Mapi Millet. They are old friends, with very close tastes and sensibilities. Together and with the enthusiasm of the entire team, they begin to shape this new brand, GAN, which will group GANDIABLASCO’s textile productions under the same proposal.

Since her incorporation, she has defined the trajectory of GAN. On the one hand, she selects the designers with whom to collaborate and develops new artisan techniques to offer them, thus consolidating what for her should be the essence of the brand: craftsmanship at the service of first class design. On the other hand, she introduced the GAN SPACES concept, which made rugs evolve by developing, in line with their designs, modular systems and accessories that define complete spaces in which to live. GAN Women Unit was born in 2010, when development for the BANDAS collection had just begun, led by renowned designer Patricia Urquiola. At that time, Mapi Millet, creative director of GAN until 2023, learned of a group of women who had lost their jobs after the local workshops that employed them had shut down.

44 years later, GAN is an international brand firmly rooted in contemporary design by known textile artists, architects and designers based on handmade products. All of our products are made in India by skilled artisans who use natural or recycled fibers. The value of what is handmade, slowly, piece by piece, is what differentiates and defines us.
