About Us
ÉTAUDORÉ is a Swiss-based online boutique for modern artisan furniture, created in close collaboration with independent European workshops.
I’m Anna, the founder. With a background in engineering and data science, I have always been attentive to detail, precision, and the quiet intelligence of well-made objects. At the same time, I have long been drawn to spaces that feel warm, personal, and deeply considered.
Born and raised in Poland, I later studied in Scotland, lived and worked in the United States, and have called Switzerland home since 2016. ÉTAUDORÉ reflects this journey - bringing together Central European craftsmanship, contemporary design sensibility, and the refined expectations of Swiss living.
We work closely with skilled Polish artisans whose workshops preserve generations of knowledge. Together, we create furniture that is made slowly and intentionally - for clients who value authenticity, natural materials, and designs that remain relevant over time.
Many pieces from the collection live in my own apartment in Thalwil (just outside Zürich), which also serves as a live-in showroom. Clients and interior designers are welcome to visit by appointment and experience the furniture in a real home setting - understanding not only how it looks, but how it feels to live with. This space, often shared on our website and Instagram, reflects the true spirit of ÉTAUDORÉ: timeless design integrated into everyday life.
A Personal Approach
ÉTAUDORÉ began with a simple belief - that furniture should carry meaning.
In an era of fast consumption and anonymous production, artisan-made pieces offer something rare: individuality, patience, and soul. The brand exists to reconnect people with this quieter, more thoughtful way of furnishing.
Enduring Quality
Every design is carefully curated and personally experienced before becoming part of the collection. We visit our partner workshops, build lasting relationships with the makers, and follow the production process closely.
The result is furniture that combines visual refinement with true durability - pieces created not for seasons, but for years.
Timeless Design
Our aesthetic is guided by clarity, balance, and understated elegance. We favour honest materials, refined proportions, and forms that feel contemporary yet enduring.
Because each piece is made to order, clients are invited to shape the final result through finishes, fabrics, and details. Furnishing becomes a collaboration - one that leads to spaces that feel authentic and deeply personal.
Responsible Craft
Supporting craftsmanship also means supporting a more considered way of producing and living.
We prioritise local European production, durable materials, and made-to-order manufacturing that reduces waste. Each ÉTAUDORÉ piece reflects care - for the artisan, for the client, and for the environment.
