The courage to be yourself

Even before he finished his carpentry apprenticeship, Thomas Walser was already creating his own furniture. “I realised early on that a big company that mostly makes off-the-peg products just wasn’t my thing. But my love of exquisite woods in combination with other materials and a slightly unusual design kept growing, so in 2012 I decided to set up my own business,” explains Thomas Walser who, at 26 years old, is probably the youngest managing director of any company featured here. Young, but by no means inexperienced.

Every single piece of furniture is developed on the basis of the customer’s needs. Thomas Walser gets the inspiration for his initial sketches from studying the space and the interior setting the new item is intended for. He puts a great deal of energy and creativity into satisfying his customer’s every request. With technical perfection, the raw material is transformed into unique pieces of furniture and enhanced with authentic design, turning the customer’s furniture dream into dream furniture that is exquisitely crafted right down to the last perfect detail. But Walser Möbel’s involvement doesn’t end when the furniture is delivered. It goes without saying that the firm’s team continues to look after its customers even after the purchase is complete – by supplying care instructions, for instance, or repairing any damage that might occur. As a result, the one-off pieces become sustainable companions and represent genuine value. Anybody who buys Walser furniture is investing in the future and making a valuable contribution towards protecting the environment.

WALSER MÖBEL: The cabinet makers at Walser Möbel are passionate about their craft. They make every piece by hand and guarantee the highest quality. When they choose their wood at the sawmill, they always have a picture of the finished product in their mind’s eye and love using a combination of different materials to create modern, one-of-a-kind furniture.
