History
After World War II, Franck Pilloton travels through France from church to church designing new tapestries to replace the ones which were destroyed. 60 years later, his son perpetuates this intimate connection to carpets and rugs by creating Un Tapis À Paris.

Eclectism
Un Tapis à Paris draws from several sources of inspiration: exoticism and sensuality of foreign cultures, Oriental or African, geometrical language, expressed through shapes, to the effigy of French tradition and our profound knowledge of arts and crafts. More than a creative process, it is a state of mind.
Limited edition
Un Tapis à Paris designs each of its creations like genuine artwork. For that reason, we have decided that each model will not be produced in more than 8 editions. Each rug will therefore be signed, numbered and will come with a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its uniqueness.
Designed in Paris
In the twenties and thirties, Paris rapidly became the city of Decorative Arts. By establishing its main office in the city center, Un Tapis à Paris wanted to show its deep attachment to the city’s past and to its visionary leaders such as Jean Prouvé, Puiforcat, Jules Leleu, Jean Dunand or Jacques Adnet who thought up the interior design of dream palaces in Paris or as far as the Maharajahs’ India. Paris spreads around the world in concentric circles.
