Description
AN EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION
Inspired by the architectural structures of his own buildings, Jean-Michel Wilmotte forcefully transcribes the lines of the framework onto the fabric. In love with the material, the architect's vocabulary comes to life, and the weave resembles a sketchbook. A collection with a singular identity and clean, contemporary lines that invites you to relax. Let's join the Club!
INSPIRATION
The Wilmotte & Industries design studio, through its compositional work and balance of shapes and colors, strives to rediscover the self-evident character of objects and the sensuality of materials.
Research into Jacquard was inspired by the architect's identity, his artistic sensibility and his world of colors. It's only natural that he should return to the French art of weaving, which he had already passionately embraced in the 80s, and whose technicality and language he has fully mastered.
The motifs in this collection reflect his projects. Jacquard warp and weft threads intertwine, with precision and subtlety, to sketch out geometric lines. The same constructive gesture can be found in the architectural structure of the building and in the weave of the jacquard weave; the two respond and harmonize to create an intimate, contemporary and confidential universe.
The photographs in the catalog are as accurate as possible but cannot ensure a perfect similarity with the product sold, especially with regard to colors.

THE STAGES OF CREATION OF OUR PRODUCTS
From the creation of the designs to the making, a Le Jacquard Français product requires 15 manufacturing steps, all carried out with the greatest care and an infinite sense of detail, before coming to dress your home: creation, lisage (translation of the creations into Jacquard language stitch by stitch), selection of the best quality cotton and linen yarns, countertyping of the yarn colors according to the trends of the moment (about 60 per year), yarn dyeing (preferably great dyeing), winding (to limit yarn waste), inking, warping and reuniting (to make the warp), knotting and weaving, piece inspection (quality control of the fabrics), ennobling, and finally making up and packaging.
Today, thanks to our 53 looms, we compose a large number of original designs at a rate of two collections per year. Weavers, knotters, warpers, gluers, stitchers are all trades and gestures exercised with passion and for generations in our factory in Gérardmer, which conceive for you the most beautiful creations of Le Jacquard Français.
