Islablanca Sectional pouf
“The designs of the ISLABLANCA collection are a true reflection of the lifestyle and vernacular architecture of Ibiza. Its robust structures and clean lines are directly inspired by traditional buildings with thick whitewashed walls.”
José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales
With simple, refined lines and free from superfluous elements, ISLABLANCA is the outdoor furniture collection created by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales that best reflects his passion for the island of Ibiza and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
The ISLABLANCA sectional pouf is a wild card for creating personalized spaces in combination with the ISLABLANCA sofa, lounge chair and coffee table. Its cushions/pillows are filled with polyurethane filtering foam covered with a layer of wadding, which makes them breathable, quick-drying, and comfortable. The upholstery of this designer pouf is available in GANDIABLASCO‘s extensive catalog of colours and features exclusive design decorative stitching.
The ISLABLANCA sectional pouf is an original 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.
