Pinton x Maison Sarah Lavoine - The art of color meets French artisanal excellence

It all begins with a meeting. The Maison Sarah Lavoine studio and the Pinton factory, guardians of ancestral Aubusson expertise, saw fertile ground for collaboration in each other's worlds. Driven by shared values—a demand for quality, a commitment to craftsmanship, and a quest for innovation—the two companies decided to combine their talents to push the boundaries between color and craftsmanship.

From this synergy was born Esprit Libre , a rug designed as a true work of art. Initially designed to adorn the scenography of our flagship store on Place des Victoires for Paris Design Week in September 2024, it is now part of the Maison's catalog.

Designed by our studio, it reflects a reinterpreted modernism, where graphic lines intertwine with deep and vibrant hues, Aubergine, Terracotta and Ecru. This rug embodies a vision: to transform the floor into a living and expressive canvas, where audacity and subtlety blend.

The Pinton factory, with its centuries-old expertise, has mobilized its artisans to create the Esprit Libre rug using the hand-tufting technique. Using local wool, each piece offers remarkable quality and infinite precision.

The tufting technique combines ancestral know-how and modern tools. On a vertically stretched canvas, the craftsman transfers the design of the future rug with precision. The threads are laid, strand by strand, manually using a gun on the back of the canvas, according to the colors, design, and pile heights. Manual intervention allows for changes in threads and materials in accordance with the reference model. The chiseling method then sculpts the wool, creating reliefs on the tufted surface.

Free Spirit is not just a rug: it is the result of a meeting between two French visions of excellence, a central piece that invites us to rethink the art of living by enhancing the decor on the ground.
