Like flowers brightening a wheatfield and giving extra charm, inserts embellish our rugs. They bring an original and precious touch, using threads in materials as unexpected as lurex, phosphorescent fibres, metal, vinyl or leather. An insert is a different material woven into a rug. It can also be made of beads, ribbons or rivets. Inserts add a whole new dimension to a rug and enhance a texture or material, or play with the light in a new way, creating unusual contrasts. Inserts are a perfect illustration of the skills applied by our craftspeople to the production of our Couture rugs. They offer the artists and designers with whom we collaborate many possibilities and a vast areas for exploration and experimentation. Facilitated by the PINTON expertise and the company’s love of innovation, this process allows the artists’ imagination to roam freely. It gives them the opportunity to reinvent materials and create outstanding rugs, both tactile and visually appealing, generating curiosity and admiration.

While the history of PINTON is punctuated with fruitful collaborations and fascinating encounters, it is also marked by the wealth of talents in its midst. For over a decade, a team of 4 creatives coming from diverse backgrounds devote their time to designing rugs and carpets for the PINTON manufactory. Driven by shared curiosity, constant research and dialogue, the team is continually enriching the firm’s collections with new patterns or designs, combinations of materials and colours, as well colour variations. Capturing trends, listening to customers’ wishes, in direct connection with the company’s history and located under the same roof as the craftspeople and the workshops, at the crossroad of the creative and production processes, the PINTON team of designers are at the heart of the business.

The Jacquard loom was developed by Joseph Marie Jacquard in the early 19th century. PINTON Jacquard’s sophisticated technique can weave up to 105 threads per cm2, allowing for a large span of textures, designs and colours. Indeed, despite the number of colours on each loom being limited to 7 or 8, the crossing of the threads offers an extensive range of colours and hues, hence more than 500 possible colours per loom. In addition, this particular technique makes Jacquard fabric extremely resistant to deformation by stretching and to tearing.

Adaptable to various supports, Jacquard fabric can be plain with placed patterns or in « all-over », in other words a continuous and regular repetition of patterns over the entire surface. The PINTON Jacquard is manufactured in 6 stages, from the warping to the finishing touches, including the design of the cartoon which, nowadays, with the assistance of computer software, allows for a very fine weave.
