About atelier M12
atelier M12 is a Swiss furniture brand that produces high-quality designer furniture to order. The collections – including MEA, JIM, IDA, ZLA, ANA and JOA – comprise seating, sideboards, benches and sofas and are aimed at both private customers and public or collective spaces. Production takes place in Switzerland by founder Michaël Martins, ébéniste and designer, handcrafted according to the principle: produce locally and only what is needed. The materials are solid oak (chêne massif) and steel, whose combination carries both the solidity and the design concept of the pieces. The development process runs from sketch through prototyping to manufacture. The atelier grants a 12-year warranty on the collections. The website is available in French, German and English.
