Our Approach.
An independent agency driven by a passion for design.
​
Founded by Charline Richard in 2022, Bureau Dada builds on over a decade of experience in brand development and the organization of international events.
Our philosophy: to build lasting bridges between brands and their markets, always with a strong sense of style, people, and consistency.
We select our partner brands based on three simple criteria: quality, originality, and compatibility. The brands we represent are never in direct competition — they complement and strengthen one another.
We believe in synergy over rivalry.

Why collaborate with the Bureau Dada?
You have everything to gain​
​
Bureau Dada operates on a simple, fair model: no sales, no payment. As commercial agents, we are only paid based on the sales we generate for you. That means we are fully invested in actively promoting your brand, positioning it smartly, and connecting you with the right retailers. No risk for you — just full commitment from us.
We take care of your brand image​
​
Every brand we represent is carefully selected for its quality, aesthetics, and alignment with our universe. Our role goes far beyond selling — we make sure every market interaction reflects your DNA, positioning, and values.
From retailer selection to showcasing your products at trade fairs or pop-ups, we represent your brand with precision and care.
We know the landscape like no one else
​
Based in Paris, at the heart of the design and lifestyle ecosystem, we have in-depth knowledge of key players in both France and Switzerland. This local insight allows us to open the right doors, activate the right levers, and build valuable connections.
We speak French, English, and German, and understand the cultural nuances of both francophone and German-speaking markets — a key asset to streamline communication and maximize your brand’s impact.

Are you a retailer? Let’s talk!
Bureau Dada carefully selects international design and lifestyle brands that are still little known or not yet present in France and Switzerland. Our goal: to bring you original, high-quality, and complementary collections, often in exclusivity or as a first on the market. Each brand is selected for its uniqueness, aesthetic consistency, and commercial potential.
​
We understand what you’re looking for — products that stand out but also sell. Whether you're a sharp concept store, a major e-commerce platform, or an independent boutique driven by instinct and design flair, we’ve got you covered.
​
We save you time by introducing brands that are ready to work seriously, with solid B2B tools (product sheets, visuals, clear terms), streamlined logistics, and a flexible, professional mindset.
​
We believe in people-first relationships, long-term partnerships, and elevating products through thoughtful staging, editorial storytelling, and events. We’re here to help you build a tailored selection, true to your DNA and aligned with your customers' expectations.
