Two hands, one workshop.

Delphine Cognaux

Design & laser production

Drawing on a family heritage in jewellery, she turned naturally to creation and craftsmanship, at the heart of the world of jewellery-making. She later moved into textiles, a world that sharpened that same eye further — teaching her to read a material, to sense what in it would matter.

Today she oversees every creation, trained in design software and in laser technique. Her technical precision rests on an eye shaped by years spent among fine materials — it is usually she who decides how a motif meets a surface.

Anthony Cognaux

Craft & stone heritage

He carries the heritage of stoneworking in Belgium — twenty-six years shaping it by hand, in a workshop founded by his family in 1883.

In his practice, traditional gesture and advanced tooling have always moved side by side; neither has ever threatened the other. Bringing the laser into his craft changed nothing of what he demands — it only widened what he can offer.

How the work divides

Nothing leaves the workshop without passing through their four hands. Anthony reads the material — its density, its grain, what it will become under heat, across decades. Delphine reads the design — where a motif should sit, where it should breathe, where it can press. A piece moves between them until both agree — and it is often at that exact moment that it becomes something neither had imagined at the start.

A designer's eye. A craftsman's hand.
Both, in every piece, without exception.
