MARIE’S CORNER
DESIGNING EMOTIONS
We are craftsmen and proud of it
In barely 25 years’ time, Marie’s Corner imposed itself as a referential brand in the sofa universe.
Both Belgian and international, the company has always outclassed itself by its power of adopting
the different European influences to create its own style and its unique touch.
Cosy and contemporary. Chic and elegant. Marie’s Corner offers unique, endlessly customizable armchairs
based on production according to traditional methods. And with only one obsession in mind:
comfort, comfort and comfort! 200 exclusive models, more than 1.000 finishings and
an infinity of possible combinations, turn each piece into a unique creation.
Simultaneously ageless and ahead of its time, Marie’s Corner has always developed iconic models,
designed to adapt to the anyone’s desire. Included in the BEL (Brussels Exclusive Labels) since 2015,
the company has joined the 80 most iconic representatives of the capital city of Europe.
The main markets are Belgium, Germany, France, Russia, Netherlands, England, Switzerland and Norway.
