by offering unique, bold and authentic pieces.
Each piece of Cruso furniture embodies a dialogue between raw nature and human ingenuity.
Made in Europe from noble and durable materials, our creations combine artisanal quality and contemporary innovation.
Our pieces are not just functional: they tell a story, awaken the senses and transform your interior.
into an aesthetic and emotional experience.
The Story of Cruso
Cruso was born from the desire of a young Belgian cabinetmaker, Olivier Stévenart, to create a furniture publishing house combining a passion for wood and respect for craftsmanship.
In 2014, driven by this ambition, he turned to Jean-François D'Or, recently elected designer of the year in Belgium, to ask him to join this daring adventure.
Seduced by Olivier's authentic vision and simplicity, Jean-François accepted the challenge. Their collaboration, combining Olivier's craftsmanship with Jean-François' design expertise, gave birth to the first Cruso collection in 2015.
A bold gamble that laid the foundations for a brand resolutely focused on quality, innovation and the art of design. Since then, many designers such as Julien Renault and Benoit Deneufbourg have collaborated with Cruso.
