About Bautier

Belgian furniture company Bautier offers a coherent collection of well-crafted products. It was founded in 2013 when designer and entrepreneur, Marina Bautier, decided to set up her own furniture brand; a collection which has since developed into a range of various objects: furniture, accessories, home textiles and tableware.

The design always merges a functionalist approach with a deep understanding of materials and proportions, resulting in simple and essential pieces, long-lasting in every aspect.

The furniture is produced in the northwest corner of Germany by talented craftsmen, trained in making solid and refined products. Bautier not only aspires to create durable objects, durability is fundamental and included in every reflection made regarding choice of materials, manufacturing, suppliers and collaborators.

Bautier is based in Brussels, in a building renovated with a vision of a multi-functional house serving the different facets of the brand. One part of the building comprises the store, offering Bautier products as well as a curated selection of books and home accessories, and the café corner, serving home-cooked meals and refreshments throughout the day. The other part of the building functions as a creative space with Marina’s personal design studio and workshop.

Bautier items are sold exclusively in the store and from the website.
