My parents’ house had covered areas like porches and a greenhouse full of plants, they were my favorite places to play, listen to music, read or take a nap.”

The PERGOLAS collection arises from the need to create outdoor shelters, taking the step from GANDIABLASCO furniture to small-scale architecture. The MODULE 2 246×484 is an outdoor pergola manufactured with the same mechanized aluminium profile construction system that characterizes our brand’s most iconic outdoor furniture collections.This is an assembly system that uses specially designed, long-lasting materials for outdoor use. Home automation to enjoy the outdoors.

This modular system is essentially a customizable designer pergola with different enclosures, ceiling types, powder-coated colors, electrification, and USB options, which allows you to adapt it to the needs of your space and your own taste. The MODULE 2 246×484 is a unique design by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales for GANDIABLASCO.

DESIGNERS

JOSÉ A. GANDÍA-BLASCO CANALES

José Antonio Gandía-Blasco Canales was born in Ontinyent, Valencia. After studying law at the Valencia University, he joined the family business Gandia Blasco, a blanket manufacturer. After travelling throughout Spain as a business agent, he began to work on responsibilities in the company.

With the help of Marisa Gallén and Sandra Figuerola, designers, Gandia Blasco reshaped the image of the company. The current logo was created, the silhouette of a graceful kitten, as well as the first reversible design carpet collection, which later received the IMPIVA Award 1990 for innovation.

The building of his summer residence in Ibiza in 1996 and the need to furnish the house with outdoor furniture that would match the architectonic concept, took José A. to take a closer look at furniture design for the first time.

In close collaboration with the architect, they developed the "Na Xemena" collection which is still the outdoor furniture reference of the company Gandia Blasco.

The consolidation of this new product line contributed to the diversification strategy of the company. In 1999 he inherited the company, and started with the definitive structural change.

José A. managed to lead the activities of a solvent family business towards the international benchmark it is today. Experimenting and innovating with materials and shapes, he has been able to turn the ideas of a lover of the Mediterranean culture into a brand image and lifestyle which are well known on the five continents.

Besides being the company president, Jose A. is also its artistic director. He has designed a great majority of the furniture and textile collections that GANDIABLASCO now sells around the world: the ‘DNA’, ‘DNA Teak’, ‘Clip’, ‘Lipstick’ and ‘356’ outdoor collections, accessories such as the ‘Picnic Deckchair’ and ‘Clack! Chair’, as well as a line of lighting products.

He has also designed a wide variety of pieces of furniture as part of his vast Outdoor Spaces collection: ‘Daybed’, ‘Sofa Pergola’, ‘Merendero’, ‘Tipi’, as well as their modules and enclosures. He has also designed rugs such as ‘Pack’, ‘Peineta’, ‘Hidra’, ‘Círculos’, ‘Champiñones’ and the ‘Piedras’ duvet, all of which are easily identifiable with the GANDIABLASCO lifestyle.

“Our products speak a language of simplicity, harmony, and proportion. I love Egyptian, Greek and Roman architecture. When I travel, I see classical monuments that look as modern as though they had been built yesterday. Some GANDIABLASCO chaise longues resemble stone or wooden lounge chairs from ancient times. The difference is that we use 21st century materials”
