For 17 years, Breton artist Valérie Le Roux has been producing elegant works in ceramics, to which she gives a typically maritime design with a few brushstrokes. But Le Roux also creates tiles, serigraphs, printed, woven or embroidered textiles. In all her work, whether in her own studio or in collaborations, the artist attaches particular importance to craftsmanship.
Samuel Accoceberry launched his own design studio in 2010, to immediate acclaim. In 2013 he was awarded the Grand Prix de la Création of the City of Paris and numerous international prizes, including 3 Red Dot Design Awards and a German Design Award. He splits his time between Paris and Biarritz. He helps firms to tell the story of their brand through design, with a particular attention to showcasing traditional know-how, quality finishing and a human approach. With his cross-cutting vision of design, his work spans as varied as lighting appliances and street furniture and he approaches the manufacturing process with as much attention to detail as limited editions publishing.

The IMAGERIE D’EPINAL is the most famous imagery and the last still active in the world. From the 18th to the 20th century, imageries played a major role in the transmission of popular knowledge, spreading their illustrated sheets throughout Europe. The IMAGE D’EPINAL, famous to the point that it has become an idiom in french language, has always kept up with the times. Its technique of artisanal reproduction by lithography and colouring with stencil is immediately recognizable.
It has given – and still gives – birth to thousands of images, living testimonies of history and current events for two centuries. It is today inseparable from French culture. Tissage Moutet’s designers have got the chance to access the incredible iconographic archives of MAISON IMAGE D’EPINAL where they found great inspiration for their 2021 collection.
A team of young designers inspired by poetry, fun and all things contemporary, sometimes from the other side of the world.
Their playful weaves are inspired by nature, plants and faraway countries, and include colour, writing combinations, flat patterns, print effects, scale play (like a fish flying over a flower…), overlapping patterns and the use of different materials.
Originally from Normandy but now living in Brussels, Cécile Barraud de Lagerie is a multi-faceted designer. An all-rounder, she puts colour and pattern at the centre of her work, which carries her from the fashion world to wallpaper, via painting and illustration. Halfway between art and artisan, her ever-changing creations demonstrate her deep interest for know-how and her perfect command of the different techniques that she dabbles with.
It’s a certain sense of humour and a particular taste for mischievous nods to heritage and to tradition that unites the Heula brand, which was founded in 2006, with the House of Moutet. Both are brought together by playful and quirky artwork and an amazing effectiveness in their apparent simplicity. Proof that Béarn and Normandy have more in common than just unrivalled rainfall…
Hilton McConnico was one of the first big names to agree to design for Moutet, breathing new life into our traditional stripes and designing exceptional jacquards !
This famous American creator, who was a painter, decorator, scenographer, and designer, received several prizes for his design creations. Today, his work can be found in the permanent collections of several museums across the world.
Linked with Moutet since leaving the Duperré School of Applied Arts, today Hélène Druvert shares the responsibility for trends and style with Catherine Moutet.
She works as a textile designer of household linens and children’s fashion and as an illustrator. Textile patterns, travel books and childhood are the main sources of inspiration of her poetic and dreamlike world. She likes to mix graphic styles such as sketches, collages or painting, and dusting off and revisiting old fabrics.
matali crasset travels in eclectic worlds : from handcrafts to electronic music; from textile industry to fair trade; from scenography to furniture; from graphic design to interior design … trained as an industrial designer, she has established herself as one of the greatest French designers; she likes to break the codes which govern our daily life. She says : “My work is not based on shapes, but on rituals”.

Weaver and Talent Developer since 1919

When great-great granddad Jean-Baptiste started in his shop, I don’t think he imagined for a moment that all this would happen !
A homage to hundreds of Béarnese weavers who, for 100 years, have all contributed to an excellent collection of “Archives” that reproduces and reinterprets the most iconic of our old cardboard designs and brings them to light once again!
Designer, illustrator, editor, but above all, passionate about food and wine ! This Burgundian dusts our French terroir with his quirky world and his phrases that hit the mark. His motto ? In Pinot Noir, we trust.
Sharp observer of life in Gascony, South-West France, he sets his sights on capturing the region that he loves so much. He sketches its landscapes and its inhabitants with a typically British humour. Each drawing is an affectionate nod to the region.

“Dare to do”: Sokina Guillemot has come up with this phrase, which she borrowed from Sonia Delaunay, her mantra. The diverse – and sometimes unexpected – experiences and collaborations of this multidisciplinary Parisian designer always bring her back to textiles. The importance of lines at the heart of her work produces lunar creations, a colourful and flowery world inspired by her travels, all the while remaining simple.
A passionate artist, Zofia Rostad has designed home textiles in bright and vivid colours for 30 years.
