The Story Behind Toulemonde Bochart

Toulemonde Bochart is a Parisian rug house that works with a circle of French designers, architects and artists, with craftsmanship perpetuated since 1949. Each rug is drawn in Paris and then made by hand, so the design comes first and the craft carries it out with care. Every rug is certified by GoodWeave, an international certification founded by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi. It guarantees that no child labor is used in the production chain and supports social and educational programs in the regions where the rugs are made.

The Designer: Noël Marinho

This Brazilian architect took part in the great modernist movement by joining Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa in the team responsible for the new capital, Brasília. Like his masters Gropius and Le Corbusier, he approached architecture as a combination of sober structure and inspired ornamentation, extending even to the furniture designed for his projects. A compulsive draughtsman, his designs executed on all kinds of media, from Indian ink to colored paper collages, were realized in ceramics or, as with Toulemonde Bochart, in rugs with meticulously composed patterns.

“mixing shapes and colors with mastery” (Toulemonde Bochart, on Colagem)
