My name is Arnold Cognet, and I have been an art glassmaker for more than thirty years. Trained at the Moulins glass school, I perfected my know-how at the Biot glassworks, where I learned the bubbled-glass technique. After fifteen years creating and innovating in this art form, I took over the Montauroux Art Glassworks in the Var in 2005.

Today, I continue the ancestral gestures of glassblowing while exploring new techniques, such as pâte de verre and gold leaf inlays. My workshop, now also an exhibition space, presents more than 300 unique pieces, ranging from everyday glasses to lamps inspired by the Gallé style. My work reflects the balance between tradition and innovation, with a constant desire to go further in creation.
