Eurochair Projects becomes Búni and relocates
“Creating unique interior design experiences with personalized approach”
A breath of fresh air is blowing through Eurochair Projects. Ann-Sophie and Geraldine Behaegel are taking over the business from their father Geert. They not only ensure rejuvenation, but also renamed the company Búni and recently bought new premises in Hooglede. From mid-2024, this will be the new home for the provider of quality interior solutions within the middle segment of the hospitality and project market.
Eurochair Projects began long ago as a supplier of chairs and tables to the hospitality, project and healthcare sectors. “Today, we have evolved into a project-oriented partner offering high-quality interior solutions for trendy catering establishments, hotels and residential care centers. The range of furniture has gradually expanded enormously, with a very strong commitment to custom and in-house made sofas, among other things. In doing so, we carry the commitment to craftsmanship and dedication.” The eldest of 4 children, Ann-Sophie stepped into her father’s business 15 years ago to focus primarily on her passion for sales and interior consulting. In 2022, she was joined by her younger sister Geraldine, who focuses on marketing activities and day-to-day management. “Father Geert has since retired, but it is a privilege that we can still count on his advice,” Geraldine explains.
Customers can turn to Búni for all necessary indoor and outdoor furniture. “We cooperate with different manufacturers, but the customer’s needs are absolutely central. Based on what the customer has in mind, we look for the most suitable products. So the focus is no longer on the pure delivery of furniture, but on the creation of unique interior experiences. Búni, by the way, is Japanese for ‘something unique’.”
“Provided some changes are made, this property has all the assets to grow into our new heimat.”

New showroom
Because the current premises in Ardooie no longer meet the needs of a modern business, the sisters had been looking for a new location for some time. They found it very recently in premises in Hooglede, just across the border from Roeselare. “The building is still quite young. Provided we make some changes, such as creating a nice showroom and adapting the workshop, this building has all the assets to become our new home. Ideally, we should be able to move in by mid-2024. The entire team is excited to help write the rest of our story. We want to continue serving the hospitality industry, the project market, healthcare institutions and municipalities with a strong customer focus and a personalized service,” Ann-Sophie and Geraldine Behaegel conclude.
