About us

Atelier Cocon is a design house based in Rabat, born from the desire to unite design, well-being and mindfulness. We design and create meditation and relaxation accessories that encourage you to slow down and refocus. Each piece is designed as an everyday object capable of transforming a space into a place of calm and beauty. Rooted in an artisanal and responsible approach, Atelier Cocon celebrates simplicity, sensoriality and sustainability as a single path to inner balance. Our ambition: to make calm tangible, and offer everyone a cocoon where everyday life becomes a ritual.

Born and raised in Rabat, Morocco, Chama El Ajmi grew up in a family of architects, awakening an early interest in design and noble materials. She continued her studies in Interior Architecture in Paris, where she developed a keen eye for aesthetics and spatial harmony. Returning to Morocco in 2014, she founded Atelier Cocon, specializing in the creation of decorative cushions. It was at the heart of this workshop that she deepened her expertise, exploring natural materials, tapestry, and woodworking, with a strong commitment to local craftsmanship and the authenticity of materials. At 25, she moved to the United States to complete a degree in Business, an experience that marked a decisive turning point in her entrepreneurial vision. An entrepreneur at heart, she developed her first collections, which she sold on Etsy and in designer marketplaces, thus refining her approach to design and customer experience. In 2020, the global upheavals caused by lockdowns offered the company the opportunity to rethink its relationship with well-being. It was during this period of returning to the essentials that the idea of linking design and mindfulness practices emerged. This profound reflection gave rise to a new direction for Atelier Cocon: creating meditation and yoga accessories that combine elegance, comfort, and respect for the environment. Four years later, Chama has grown Atelier Cocon and established itself as the leading brand in the Zen world, while also becoming a preferred partner for wellness professionals. Today, Atelier Cocon's creations embody the art of mindfulness, offering spaces of calm and serenity at the heart of everyday life.

The Atelier Cocon logo is inspired by the cocoon; this silent refuge where the caterpillar transforms, sheltered from the world. A space of retreat, fragile in appearance, but essential to metamorphosis. We see in meditation this same gesture: that of withdrawing for a moment, of closing one's eyes to the outside world in order to better anchor oneself within. Each cushion, each accessory that we create accompanies these suspended moments, where we reconnect with ourselves, where we transform ourselves gently. Atelier Cocon was born from this simple and profound need: to offer objects that support essential daily breaks — those that bring us back to ourselves.

At Atelier Cocon, each creation is designed with respect for life and time. We favor natural materials like kapok, linen, and recycled cotton, chosen for their durability and softness. Our pieces are made locally, in small batches, to reduce waste and support artisanal know-how. Behind each cushion, each futon, there is the desire to offer beautiful, useful, and responsible objects that care for those who use them as much as they do for the planet.
