The creators' imprint: when the rug becomes a canvas for expression

At Edito Paris, we believe that textile design is enriched when it embraces unexpected perspectives. It is with this idea in mind that we conceived our Signature Collection : a series of collaborations with designers from the furniture, object, or applied arts sectors, sometimes far removed from the world of rugs. This openness allows for the exploration of new creative avenues, far from conventions, with a free, curious, and sensitive approach.

Each project is born from an exchange, a shared vision between the designer's perspective and our textile expertise. Together, we strive to create rugs that are not only beautiful, but that tell a story. An intention, a rhythm, a graphic balance. Pieces designed to complement everyday life while adding a unique touch to any space.

Personal universes serving a living design

The designers of the Signature Collection come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own visual language, references, and approach to composition. Some draw inspiration from architecture or drawing, others from nature or materials. Their work may involve a play of contrasts, an intuitive design, or a carefully considered composition—always with a focus on meaning and coherence.

Over time, this diversity has nurtured a collection that is both coherent and constantly evolving. The resulting rugs oscillate between abstraction and evocation, between geometry and suggestion. They are design objects, but also surfaces for expression, designed to integrate seamlessly into our interiors.

The designers of the Signature Collection

Aude Perrier

Designer and visual artist Aude Perrier develops a visual universe where color and form are boldly expressed. Influenced by the graphic references of the 1970s and an instinctive sensitivity to color, she creates free and contrasting compositions. For Edito, she designed " Podium" "A rug with pop and geometric accents, crossed by a vibrant horizon line. A creation on the border between op-art and contemporary design, as radical as it is joyful.

Jean Couvreur

Founding his studio in 2010, Jean Couvreur designs objects and spaces through a refined, functional, and timeless approach. His work aims to reveal the essence of forms through simple, elemental design, free from all superfluity. For Edito, he translates this formal rigor into a structured and understated rug called " Ribbon ," which explores the quiet beauty of clean lines.

Claire Buet

Independent designer Claire Buet cultivates a delicate, sensitive, and contemplative world. Inspired by simple everyday gestures—such as foraging or observing nature—she designs poetic objects that engage with space and emotions. Her collaboration with Edito extends this approach into the world of rugs, through soft, meditative forms conceived as fragments of an inner landscape. Discover the Dott and Shade rugs.

Piergil Fourquié

Designer and scenographer Piergil Fourquié has developed a cross-disciplinary approach informed by his extensive experience in the worlds of luxury, galleries, and furniture. At the helm of his studio since 2015, he combines rigorous design with creative freedom, in a process that prioritizes emotion, sensuality, and boundless inspiration. For Edito, he designed the Ether rug, a delicate and balanced piece that reflects his poetic vision of materials and form.

Charles Kalpakian

French-Lebanese designer Charles Kalpakian develops a visual language at the crossroads of cultures and disciplines. His work blends geometric rigor, Eastern influences, and references to French decorative arts in a resolutely contemporary approach. He reinterprets classic motifs and historical forms through a sculptural lens, influenced by architecture and marquetry. For Edito, he designed the Dune rug, both minimalist and expressive, where each line subtly interacts with the surrounding space.

Marine Peyre

Designer and publisher Marine Peyre has been developing a free, colorful, and bold universe for over twenty years, at the crossroads of design, art, and space. Trained in architecture and fine arts, she has founded several brands and collaborated with major publishers in France and internationally.

For Edito, she proposes the Bibelot rug, designed as a dynamic composition where each color becomes movement.
