“Beauty, elegance and surprise are at the core of our design practice. Unexpected material combinations and high end craftsmanship are essential to us”. Working together with skilful craftsmen, Studio Catoir creates bespoke interiors and furniture in close collaboration with their clients. Studio Catoir specialises in private homes and boutique hotels, conceiving unique spaces that respond to their customer’s personalities and unique requirements. Their creations reinterpret traditional material and techniques, bridging long standing craftsmanship skills with innovative designs. Husband and wife, Elisa and Michael met in 1997. Following professional experiences in France, Germany and an 8 year collaboration with Matteo Thun & Partners in Italy, they co-founded Studio Catoir in 2006. In 2017 they presented for the first time during the International Biennal of Crafts and Creations Révélations, a furniture collection that brings together traditional know how, durability and contemporary design. Since 2019, Elisa and Michael have been the designers behind the second generation of the lifestyle hotel brand OKKO HOTELS. In 2025, they were selected to present their creations at the ART PARIS fair held in the Grand Palais, inaugurating the new FRENCH DESIGN ART EDITION section dedicated to contemporary design.
