Who Is Behind Stratier?
Dieter Coppens and Tom Suykens are two graphic designer friends from the Belgian town of Puurs-Sint-Amands. As fathers, they wanted to create products that capture family memories beautifully and effortlessly. The name “Stratier” is Belgian slang for a mixed-breed dog — a cross that’s stronger than the purebred. All products are printed and bound in Belgium.
At Charles & Marie: Books, Posters & More
The “Wunderbare Jahre” (Wonderful Years) series is the centrepiece: memory books for different life moments — “9 Monate” for expectant parents, “Mein 1. Mal” for first times, “Unterwegs” as a family travel journal, “Woanders Übernachten” and “Ich Liebe” as a friendship journal. Then the grandparent books (“Oma” and “Opa”) for recording their own life stories. For children there are friendship books (“Astronauten”, “Liebste Freundinnen”), pet diaries (puppies, kittens) and the Tooth Fairy savings card. The XL game posters (65×100 cm) offer puzzle and play fun: Labyrinth, 100 European Cities, 100 Differences, 100 Popstars and Happy Holidays. Plus colouring posters (Pixel, Circus) and an evergreen birthday calendar.
