Studio Des Bouvrie

What Studio Des Bouvrie does

Studio Des Bouvrie B.V. is a privately held Dutch multidisciplinary design studio operating from the historic Het Arsenaal building in Naarden Vesting, Netherlands. Founded in 1993 by Jan des Bouvrie and Monique des Bouvrie, the studio offers architecture, interior design, product design, and art curation services underpinned by a minimalist, symmetry-driven design philosophy established by Jan des Bouvrie (1942-2020), whose 1969 Kubus sofa for Gelderland remains a Dutch design classic. Following Jan's death in 2020, Monique des Bouvrie continues as Owner and Creative Director, supported by a small named leadership team (Head of Design Rob Röttgering; Head of Sales Renske Voogt).

The studio's revenue model combines professional services (custom architecture and interior design consulting delivered via 'Interior Date' bookings and direct project work), low-margin product retail through the Des Bouvrie Boutique e-commerce platform (desbouvrieboutique.eu) and the on-site Naarden concept store, and a vocational education partnership via the Jan des Bouvrie College (established 2010 with ROC van Amsterdam). GTM is hybrid: enterprise field sales for high-end residential and commercial design projects, complemented by direct-to-consumer walk-in traffic at the Naarden concept store and online boutique. The company is family-controlled, with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding, and no public revenue figures; the customer base is regionally concentrated in the Netherlands with global e-commerce potential.
