Cogolin Wool Hand Knotted Carpet – The Legacy of French Elegance Underfoot

The Cogolin Wool Hand Knotted Carpet is more than a floor covering — it’s a tapestry of French refinement woven into every knot. Hailing from the iconic weaving houses of Cogolin, France, this masterpiece merges centuries-old hand-knotting traditions with contemporary design sensibilities. Known for their understated luxury, Cogolin carpets grace the interiors of châteaus, couture boutiques, and modern art-inspired homes alike.

Each piece tells a quiet story — of meticulous craftsmanship, of hands that tie thousands of knots with precision, and of wool so soft and durable it feels like walking across a cloud with structure. The balanced blend of texture and pattern gives it a timeless presence, while the subtle play of matte and luster invites both the eye and the touch. A Cogolin Wool Hand Knotted Carpet isn’t just placed in a home; it becomes a part of its soul.
