La Manufacture Cogolin, formerly known as La Manufacture des Tapis de Cogolin, is a high-end hand-woven rug manufacturer based in Southern France, founded in 1924.
History
Founded in the village of Cogolin in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur France, La Manufacture Cogolin was launched by Jean Lauer [http://www.journeesdupatrimoine.culture.fr/fr/le-programme/recherché-thematique/fiche?id=b160733effffd360514af3bddd0bf584&rd=9383&insee=0&commune=&monument=&theme=0&ty=0&n=22&nb=128 “Recherce thematique Manufacture des Tapis”], “Journées Européennes du Patrimoine”, 15-16 Septembre, 2012[https://books.google.com/books?id=axxFbvM2KnUC&dq=jean+lauer+cogolin+foundere&pg=PA193] “Biographies of Artists, Manufacturers and Retailers” as a producer of silk. In 1928, the company purchased handlooms, featuring a Jacquard mechanism combining needle, cylinder, and punch-card components, and began weaving rugs.
Products
The rugs are available in a large number of patterns from the firm's archive, which dates back to its origins. Weavers work by hand in panels ranging from 50 centimeters to 3 meters, which are then stitched together in the desired final dimensions, resulting in an offering of traditional, custom-made geometric and plain textured rugs, wall-to-wall carpets, and flat-woven floorcoverings in wool, cotton, linen, raffia, and silk. The carpets are intended for use in embassies, luxury hotels, and high-end private residences.
Renaissance
Acquired in 2010, the company has been revitalized, from a restoration of its original Provence workshop to a redesign of its visual identity. In June 2012, the firm opened its doors again to the design community in Paris,Fabienne Reybaud [http://madame.lefigaro.fr/art-de-vivre/tapis-de-cogolin-renouent-avec-succes-220512-230729 “les Tapis de Cogolin renouent avec succès”] “Le Figaro Madame” 21 May 2012 with a new showroom on rue des Saint-Pères.Blog de Jean Pierre, [http://manufacturecogolin.com/depuis-1924/blog-de-jean-pierre/notre-showroom-a-paris-est-ouvert/ “Notre showroom à Paris est ouvert”] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130414041838/http://manufacturecogolin.com/depuis-1924/blog-de-jean-pierre/notre-showroom-a-paris-est-ouvert |date=2013-04-14 }}, “manufacturecogolin.com”
