How it all started
My name is Susanne Dessaive, I am the founder and owner of DESSAIVE Selected Interior Design and Accessories. I would like to give you an insight into how it all began and how we developed.
The idea for my curated online shop was initiated in 2013 at the Ambiente in Frankfurt. We were there with our camera team for the Frankfurt trade fair for a press tour. Since the appointment didn’t last long, we strolled through the trade fair and let ourselves be inspired. After studying journalism, politics and law, I immediately opened my agency medianetcom, which specialized in moving image communication and television press work.
Back to 2013. At the Ambiente, we inquired about retail business models. After all, we were at home in the media world and since the first online shops were just starting to establish themselves, we played around with the idea of setting up our own. We were impressed and decided to set up an online shop for upscale interior design and accessories.
Foundation of the online shop
After intensive research and discussions with potential manufacturers at Ambiente 2014, we took the plunge and three months later opened the curated design portal DESSAIVE Selected Interior Design and Accessories. Some manufacturers were there right away, while others preferred to wait and see the result first.
What started as a side project quickly developed into a real business. Over the years, we have supported international interior designers, architects, real estate companies and hotels with their projects and offered individually customizable furniture to meet their needs.
DESSAIVE relaunched
Since then, we’ve done our first relaunch to bring you a more convenient shopping experience. Our portal is now presented with a clear design in order to offer the designers and manufacturers we represent a professional platform. We also changed our name from deSaive deSign to DESSAIVE to avoid misunderstandings and create a clear and authentic identity.
Today, we have been advising our international customers for 10 years and offering tailor-made furniture to meet your individual needs. We look forward to welcoming you to our website and to providing you with individual advice.
Best regards,
Susanne Dessaive and the DESSAIVE team
