‘Vibes’ pillow rug, by Zaven and La Manufacture Cogolin.
Since its founding in 1924, the storied French textile brand La Manufacture Cogolin has worked with some of the last century’s biggest names in art and design. From Jean Cocteau and Picasso to Jean-Michel Frank and Le Corbusier, the stalwart of Provençal weaving has helped many a great aesthete translate their creative vision into fabrics and floor coverings.
La Manufacture Cogolin’s most recent collaborator– thanks to Wallpaper’s matchmaking for this edition of Handmade – is Zaven, the multidisciplinary creative studio run by Enrica Cavarzan and Marco Zavagno out of Venice. With a practice that tends to challenge conventional ways of using objects while cleverly merging product and graphic design, Zaven was at once humbled to follow in such prestigious footsteps and determined to contribute something entirely new to La Manufacture Cogolin’s portfolio. Staying true to their method, the designers set out to question the very definition of a rug: does it have to be flat? Can it be more than a decorative object? The result of Zaven’s inquiry is ‘Vibes’, a pillow-rug-futon hybrid that conflates a two-dimensional pattern with three-dimensional form, creating a novel domestic object ideal for lounging, labouring, loving and most other kinds of living.
