History & Philosophy
My self-employed activity started in 1995 and has since gone through a major evolution. We started in Boom and later moved to Herselt. I have often worked as a subcontract for companies that are active in various sectors such as custom design furniture, yacht building, furniture restoration, organ building, marquetry, musical instruments construction and construction companies specializing in classic fixtures with old building materials. I usually work in the interior, but I have already worked in the South of France and in the heart of London. We have a strong admiration for honest pure natural products such as solid wood, veneer, natural stone, metal, glass. These elementary materials give the furniture or interior a timeless look.
