Recently Héctor Serrano created a new model for the Sail collection in which the pouf stands out as its most distinctive element. It’s simple and elegant form holds the body in a very comfortable way thanks to its pattern that creates a natural structure to rest arms and back. New Sail models from GAN will be available on the martket since October 2012.
