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

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