"DESSAIVE stands for Premium Interior Design and Contract Furniture: Exclusive, custom-made furniture and accessories from small European manufacturers – sustainable, handcrafted perfection with a special focus on creative designers from Portugal."

Susanne Dessaive, Managing Director

Let me introduce myself and DESSAIVE: My name is Susanne Dessaive, founder and Managing Director.

The idea for my curated online shop was born in 2013 at the Ambiente fair in Frankfurt during a press tour with my camera team. As a journalist and founder of the communications agency medianetcom (moving image communication and TV press work), I was fascinated by innovative design pieces from small manufacturers. Together with a business partner, we toyed with launching an online shop – and made it happen.

In 2014, I founded deSaive deSign as sole proprietor: A shop for upscale interior design and accessories from Europe. What started as a side project quickly grew into a full-fledged business.

Today, DESSAIVE presents itself with a fresh, clear look: Our focus is on premium interior design and contract furniture – custom solutions for hotels, offices, restaurants and public spaces. Sustainability, individual consulting and exclusive partnerships with European designers (many from Portugal) are at the core.

The luxurious home accessories segment continues – as inspiration and complement.

I look forward to your feedback, tips on exciting manufacturers or inquiries for your next project.

Let's create something extraordinary together.

Yours

Susanne Dessaive and team
