Geneva, Switzerland, 18th May 2026 – Investor Evgen Kolotilin has announced the successful acquisition of DUVE for €12 million. Since its inception in 2008, the brand has cultivated a legacy of expertise in the premium watch personalization niche, fostering a dedicated community of collectors and a profound understanding of the high-end market.

Kolotilin views this acquisition as a strategic investment in an asset with significant growth potential, driven by the increasing global demand for bespoke, one-of-a-kind luxury items. The synergy of resources and expertise is expected to scale DUVE’s business model and unlock new strategic directions that were previously beyond the company’s operational focus.

The next phase of the company’s evolution involves expanding its footprint beyond the European market. While maintaining its core European quality standards, DUVE is set to enter the rapidly evolving markets of the Middle East, positioning itself to meet the region’s growing appetite for luxury customization.

The acquisition also enables the direct integration of the investor’s specialized resources into the brand’s workflow. Precious stones, rare materials, and proprietary protective coatings will now be incorporated into DUVE’s designs. This vertical integration is designed to streamline the production of complex, bespoke orders while enhancing the overall profitability of the business.

“We see immense potential in the DUVE brand. Personalization has become a primary driver in the modern luxury industry,” stated Evgen Kolotilin. “Our strategy is focused on scaling the brand internationally while strictly upholding the technological standards and exclusivity that define its identity.”

Brendale 4500, Queensland, Australia, 18th May 2026 – Cafe Solutions, a Queensland-based supplier of commercial café and restaurant furniture, has highlighted the increasing demand for outdoor chairs designed for modern hospitality and dining venues across Australia. The company reported ongoing interest from cafés, restaurants, pubs, bars, and hospitality operators seeking seating options that combine durability, practicality, and contemporary design for outdoor dining spaces.

Based in Brendale, Queensland, Cafe Solutions supplies commercial furniture products to hospitality businesses throughout metropolitan and regional Australia. The company’s outdoor seating range includes chairs suited to courtyards, alfresco dining areas, footpath seating, rooftop venues, beer gardens, and hospitality spaces exposed to varying Australian weather conditions. Materials featured throughout the collection include aluminium, polypropylene, and timber-look finishes intended to support regular commercial use.

Outdoor dining areas have become an increasingly important feature within the Australian hospitality industry. Many venue operators are continuing to expand or upgrade outdoor spaces to accommodate changing customer preferences and improve seating flexibility. According to Cafe Solutions, hospitality businesses are placing greater emphasis on furniture that supports day-to-day operational demands while contributing to a consistent venue presentation.

Hospitality operators are also seeking seating solutions that can adapt to different venue layouts and seasonal conditions. Lightweight and stackable outdoor chairs are being selected to assist with venue setup, cleaning, storage, and changing dining arrangements. Cafe Solutions stated that functionality and long-term durability remain key considerations for businesses investing in commercial outdoor furniture.

Russell Crawford, spokesperson for Cafe Solutions, said outdoor seating continues to play a significant role in hospitality venue planning across Australia.

“Hospitality venues are increasingly looking for outdoor chairs that provide durability while complementing modern dining environments. Commercial operators are focusing on seating solutions that can manage regular use and changing weather conditions without compromising overall presentation,” said Crawford.

Cafe Solutions noted that outdoor furniture selection is becoming more closely linked to customer comfort and the overall dining experience. Many hospitality venues are designing outdoor spaces that encourage customers to spend more time dining and socialising. As a result, furniture choices are now commonly considered as part of wider refurbishment projects and venue improvement plans.

The company’s outdoor chair collection includes seating suitable for casual cafés, restaurants, pubs, hotels, and other commercial hospitality environments. Cafe Solutions also supplies indoor furniture products, allowing businesses to coordinate furniture styles across multiple areas within a venue.

Reliable delivery timeframes have also become increasingly important for hospitality operators managing renovations, new venue openings, and seasonal updates. Cafe Solutions stated that product availability and fast shipping continue to influence supplier decisions throughout the hospitality sector. The company provides shipping services across Australia to support hospitality businesses requiring prompt access to commercial furniture products.

Industry trends indicate that outdoor dining will remain a long-term priority for many hospitality businesses throughout Australia. Outdoor seating areas are now commonly included in venue refurbishments and new hospitality developments, particularly within urban dining precincts, coastal locations, and entertainment areas where alfresco dining remains popular with customers.

Cafe Solutions stated that hospitality businesses are continuing to prioritise flexible furniture solutions capable of supporting different venue formats and operational requirements. Commercial outdoor chairs are expected to remain a key category within the hospitality furniture sector as venues continue adapting to evolving customer expectations and dining habits.

Crawford said outdoor hospitality spaces are likely to remain an important focus for Australian venue operators over the coming years.

“Outdoor dining areas continue to influence the way hospitality venues are designed and operated across Australia. Commercial businesses are expected to maintain investment in durable and adaptable furniture solutions that support long-term venue functionality and changing customer preferences,” said Crawford.

Cafe Solutions supplies café and restaurant furniture throughout Australia from its Brendale distribution facility. The company’s product range includes chairs, tables, bar stools, benches, and sinks designed for commercial hospitality use in both indoor and outdoor environments.
