Unsere Geschichte

From our studio in Barcelona we explore the wonders of the Mediterranean in search of enchanting stories to inspire thoughtful design objects for contemporary living.

Our Philosophy

Everything we do is guided by care and attention. We choose materials for their beauty and quality, balancing technology and craftsmanship.

Our approach is considered and restrained, focusing on how objects feel and function—creating pieces that fit naturally into everyday life and are made to last.

We work with suppliers who share our commitment to people and the environment, prioritising responsible sourcing and more sustainable practices.

The Founder

Marcel Baer is a Swiss-born creative director who studied at Central Saint Martins in London and built his career in fashion and publishing, working for brands such as Gucci and Assouline.

After moving to Barcelona in 2009, he founded OCTAEVO, inspired by his family archives. Images of his father at sea—diving deep and chasing adventure—reflect a life driven by curiosity and the unknown.

From his mother came Super 8 films of early 1960s journeys across the Mediterranean, from Rome to Athens, Beirut to Tel Aviv—fragments of a fun-loving, optimistic, and effortlessly stylish era that continue to shape OCTAEVO’s spirit.

Fascinated by the Mediterranean’s vivid colours, ancient philosophy and mysterious myths, our products are designed to take you on an inspiring voyage.
