The Cogolin Manufacture, a producer of hand-made rugs, established in 1924 in a village near Saint-Tropez, is rich with a traditional craftsmanship particularly sought by a clientele looking for tradition and quality. Bought by the textile engineer and visionary Jean Lauer in 1928, the Cogolin Manufacture has grown remarkably from the 1930s onward, thanks to the introduction of its exceptional craftsmanship with great designers such as Jules Leleu, Christian Berard, Jean-Michel Frank, Sir David Hicks and artists like Jean Cocteau. This fully illustrated art book dives into what has made the Cogolin house special for a century. Mixing unpublished archives (letters, photographs, watercolours), lively texts for a wide audience, and testimonies from women working in that historical workshop, from contemporaries, and from illustrious customers. Following a chronological approach, this book situates the manufacture in its economic history, shedding light on its rebirth in the 21st century, but also in the history of Decorative Art of the 19th and 20th centuries and French craftsmanship.
