For 150 years Pinton has been one of the great references of exceptional carpet and tapestry, projecting the tradition of Aubusson into modernity, with excellence and creativity as the only rules. Two poles make up the House: Pinton Manufacture for luxury decoration and Pinton Éditions for contemporary art.
Pinton Manufacture includes two collections, Haute Couture and Prêt à Porter, both of which use natural fibers spun and dyed by the artisans of the workshops. Wool and silk thus match leather, linen, cotton, bamboo or even metal and are worked in velvet or curly to dress exceptional places such as more traditional residences.
Pinton Éditions est voué à l’art contemporain depuis les débuts de la Manufacture. Pinton a ainsi tissé les plus grands noms, de Charles Le Brun à Fernand Léger ou Calder. Et aujourd’hui, la Maison met toujours son savoir-faire unique au service d’ artistes contemporains comme Jean-Michel Othoniel, Julien Colombier, Etel Adnan, Joe Tilson ou Victor Cadene, en leur offrant un champ d’investigation en constant renouvellement.
Et pour la toute première fois, Pinton édite une collection capsule de tapis pour enfants dessinés par l’illustratrice Stéphanie Mercier. Un bestiaire de quatre tapis de laine hauts en couleurs.

An antique dealer grandmother, a decorator father, art history studies, Oscar Graf, despite his young age, has the job under his skin. But he chose to focus on a very particular period: the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in Europe and the United States, which his father François-Joseph was one of the first to defend. Like him, Oscar is fond of this Japanese movement which operated in Western Europe from 1868, when the Japanese ports opened up to the world. This current at the origin of many styles was interpreted very differently according to countries and fashions. From the almost contemporary forms of Godwin to the ceramics of Carriès, passing by Edouard Lièvre and the Herter Brothers, the decorative arts were cradled for almost thirty years by this Far Eastern culture which very often appeared as a new world.
« Le Vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd’hui »…. Marcel Zelmanovitch has this poem from Mallarmé in mind when he opens the Galerie Diurne in Saint Germain des Prés, in 1982.
