So far it’s been US companies. Here are three of my favourite from the rest of the world.
The Swiss company Boenicke make speakers which are elegant hand-made beauties, all made from solid wood. They look and sound like no other speaker, so musical and with a wonderful sense of air and space, and massive depth. Without a doubt my favourite speakers. https://boenicke-audio.ch
The British company Wilson Benesch are another great boutique company, run by a British family. They make speakers with high tech materials and they sound very impressive - fast and detailed and very transparent. http://wilson-benesch.com
From Taiwan Lawrence Audio make quirky looking speakers which have a superb rich sound.

An observation: from looking at the recommendations in this thread it seems the US boutique speakers are mostly very much conventional rectangular boxes. The European and Asian boutique makers seem to be more open to pushing speaker design into something more attractive whilst still keeping the sound as a priority.
