There is furniture that draws attention to itself – and there is furniture that gives space back to the room. The pieces by Marina Bautier clearly belong to the latter. They are made from light wood, thoughtfully functional and precisely crafted – and it’s exactly this quiet restraint that gives them their lasting presence.
And that is exactly their strength. Bautier’s furniture feels like a promise: of calm, clarity, and continuity in everyday life. Each piece is the result of a carefully considered design process in which technical knowledge and aesthetic sensitivity go hand in hand. The outcome is a consistent reduction to the essential – in form, function, and materiality. All pieces are made from solid oak, treated with a clear hard wax finish, and manufactured in Germany. The materials speak for themselves, the construction follows function, and no detail overshadows the whole. “I try to minimise complexity,” says Marina Bautier. The wood, natural and alive, brings a warmth that makes her designs immediately accessible.
