What OÜ Studio Raus does

OÜ Studio Raus is a privately held Estonian design studio founded in 2009 by Urmo Raus, headquartered in Viljandi County, Estonia. The company executes author-designed projects across five verticals — stained glass design and restoration, façade elements (doors and windows for historical buildings), reception area design, office interior design, and the MAAG exclusive furniture product line — using Italian composite panels combined with high-quality metals, wood, and specialized glass technologies. Core services span both contemporary creation (office interiors, luxury retail display furniture via MAAG) and historical restoration (churches, embassy residences, heritage buildings under Estonian Heritage Board competency certification), with notable clients including ECV, Graphèmes, ITAR-TASS Paris, FIMALAC, the Estonian and Russian Federation embassies in the Netherlands, and multiple Estonian churches.

The studio operates a project-based, quote-priced model with multi-year contract cadences, targeting enterprise and institutional buyers across Western and Northern Europe (France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Estonia). Distribution is direct: a multilingual website spanning eight languages supports inbound demand, and execution relies on a tightly curated partner ecosystem (Bencore for Italian composite panels, Sakumetall for facade elements, Glamox for lighting, Würth for fixings, plus Viking and DSV for logistics). No public pricing, headcount, or revenue disclosure is available; the firm maintains founder control with no external funding or parent entity.

Strategic positioning hinges on a talent-led competitive position rather than scale: founder Urmo Raus's Master's-level training at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris and a Heritage Protection competency certificate anchor the firm's credentials in monumental art and restoration, while the MAAG trademark and product catalog registered with EUIPO represent the principal intangible assets. The business is explicitly described as export-oriented from inception and combines Southern European aesthetic sensibility with Northern European execution discipline, positioning itself as a boutique, craft-driven alternative to larger commercial design firms.
