Islablanca Sectional 1
“I first visited Ibiza in 1973. I was fascinated by it. I will always remember that image and how I said to myself: this is my place. With Ibiza, I have a relationship of eternal idyll.”
José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales
The ISLABLANCA outdoor furniture collection is an example of the fascination of its designer José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales for the essential cubic forms of the typical constructions of the island of Ibiza.
The ISLABLANCA sectional 1 is a corner sofa with a clean design, free of superfluous ornaments. Its modular nature makes it an elegant outdoor piece of furniture with which to configure a multitude of spaces in combination with the other modules in the collection. It has a light aluminium structure available in the wide range of GANDIABLASCO colours as well as in an exclusive metallic blue tone inspired by the Ibizan sea. Its cushions feature removable upholstery and are highly comfortable thanks to their polyurethane foam filling and polyester fiber.
The ISLABLANCA sectional 1 is an exclusive design by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales for GANDIABLASCO.

About 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.
