Description
The Nuances Curve Rug by Patricia Urquiola for GAN combines craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability. Available in burgundy and volcano colourways, the rug is crafted using recycled wool felt and viscose. This lends it a stone-like effect that’s completed with hand-sewn patchwork detailing. The Nuances Curve Rug is ideal for modern homes thanks to its gently undulating shape and modern hues. The rug even received a Wallpaper* Design Award for Best Stripe Action and an NYCxDESIG N Award from Interior Design Magazine.
Our Stylist Says
The GAN Nuances Rug Curve Volcano is a fantastic statement piece that works well in contemporary and minimalist interiors, thanks to its organic shapes and muted colour palette. I love how its subtle variation in tones and textures can add depth to a room without overwhelming it. For styling, it pairs beautifully with neutral upholstery and wooden or metal furniture, creating a calm yet visually engaging space. Practical tips include placing it under a coffee table or in a seating area where its intriguing curves can be appreciated up close. To really emphasise its design, keep surrounding decor simple and let the rug do the talking.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
