Forge de Laguiole, established in the core of the village of Laguiole, located in the Aubrac plateau, embodies the subtle marriage of tradition and modernity. Since its founding in 1987, Forge de Laguiole has been committed to perpetuating the heritage of the Laguiole knife—a French symbol rooted in history—while embracing innovation. Designed by the renowned designer Philippe Starck, the workshop reflects this forward-looking vision: a bold architecture set in the wild landscapes of Aubrac plateau, where modernity and authenticity combine to give life to an outstanding place.
At Forge de Laguiole, each knife is crafted with an uncompromising commitment to quality, respecting the expertise passed down through generations. The uniqueness also lies in the boldness of collaborating with some of the biggest names in international design, from Philippe Starck to Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Andrée Putman, and Ora-Ïto. These collaborations have brought new life to the Laguiole knife, reinterpreting its lines and exploring modern materials, while remaining true to its spirit.
Each knifemaker works with passion to create unique pieces that combine contemporary aesthetics with authenticity. Forge de Laguiole has brought new life to this emblematic knife, reviving its legend in its birthplace, the village of Laguiole. Each Forge de Laguiole knife becomes more than just a tool: it embodies the history of a region and stands as a symbol of a preserved and reimagined craftsmanship. This unique union of heritage and modernity celebrates the deep connection between the knife and its native land of Aubrac.
