Maison Laugario—House

Maison Laugario was founded by Paul and Coco to offer a unique and inspiring experience dedicated to screen printing; motivated by their passion for artisanal screen printing and a desire to offer a platform for exchange between collectors and artists.

To avoid being constrained by commercial rents in the capitals, which make the services offered to artists very expensive, and to offer their expertise in a setting conducive to creativity; the couple renovated an old béarnaise riverstone homestead, abandoned for 70 years. Located between the mountains and the ocean on the banks of the Luy de Béarn river, they have created a magical and inspiring place, a silkscreen hideout in the woods.

We are a print house that produces prints and silkscreen collectables, small high-end limited editions created in our studio and available in our online shop and on site.

From design to conception, everything is made in house and by our own hands to offer you durable and quality collectible creations.

Manifesto

Located in the heart of nature, Maison Laugario is an ecologically minded screen printing studio. We are a studio that uses only water-based inks without solvents or heavy metals. Always dedicated to ecology, the workshop operates a<zero waste> policy, everything is reused in various projects, such as bookmarks, coloring for children… and finally in compost for the Print Garden. An experimental garden where the plants and plant pigments necessary for the manufacture of paper and inks grow.

In keeping with the spirit of sustainability and working with local resources, the team is always on the lookout for materials that respect our ethics.
