The Surprisingly Interesting and Inspiring Story of Manutti Furniture’s Founder

The decades-long success of Manutti has been undoubtedly influenced by the experience, intuition and vision of their founder, CEO Stephane De Winter. From a very early age through the career of his father – who owned a flax processing company –, Stephane was exposed to the beauty and diversity of materials, fabrics and fibres.

Beginning his career as an accountant, his eye for textiles and naturally magnanimous personality soon led him to accept a sales position in fabric for furniture. Partnering with another furniture manufacturer, Stephane quickly brought the firm international acclaim.

Stephane’s personal journey has been one of discovery, from his humble beginnings in Belgium to the international luxury market. What started as a keen interest in materials and textiles has turned into a lifelong passion for luxury furniture and design. His story is an inspiring one, and we are proud to have him as the driving force behind Manutti. Under his leadership, Manutti continues to push boundaries and create beautiful, high-quality furniture that is loved by customers all over the world. Thank you, Stephane, for everything.
