Quatuor Design

What Quatuor Design does

Quatuor Design (legal entity CAPT SA) is a Belgian specialty retailer of contemporary design furniture and home décor, founded in 2004 and operating as a private corporation headquartered in Boom, Belgium. The business is built around a curated multi-brand model, distributing 50+ European design brands — including Ethnicraft, Fermob, HAY, Fatboy, Kartell, Serax, Vincent Sheppard, and Sits — alongside its own SOLYS outdoor sub-brand, with more than 10,000 product references available online. The product portfolio spans indoor furniture (sofas, tables, chairs, storage, office, beds), outdoor and garden furniture, lighting, rugs, mirrors, and decorative accessories, plus gift cards starting at €40.

The company runs a hybrid omnichannel model anchored by a 1,200m² flagship showroom in Brussels-Uccle (opened 2014 in a former tram depot), a 120m² outdoor-focused Quatuor Design Corner in Antwerp-Berchem (opened 2017, reopening February 2027), a Waterloo showroom, and a full e-commerce storefront at quatuordesign.be. Fulfillment reaches Belgium, Luxembourg, and France (with exclusions for certain mountainous French regions), with free delivery for online orders over €100 and a €125 premium installation service. Customer engagement is differentiated by free 30-minute in-person or virtual design consultations with an in-house interior architect (Mathilde), supported by an editorial blog of buying guides and care content.

The revenue model is one-time retail sales to individual consumers (primary segment) and a secondary B2B channel (Quatuor Design Pro) for offices and commercial projects. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Alma 2-/3-installment BNPL. A small leadership team — Vincent (CEO/GM), Anne-Françoise (Marketing & Sales), Elisabeth (Marketing & Communication), Mathilde (Interior Architect), Thomas (Sales), and Stephanie — operates the business with a total reported headcount of 12. No external funding, M&A, or parent-company ownership is disclosed.
