Service
Custom.
One piece. Your room. Made in Belgium.
When nothing on the shelves fits — the wall is too long, the material too generic, the object too anonymous — we design and build a piece for it. Maarten sketches; a small circle of Belgian makers builds. Timelines are honest, materials are named, and the object is yours forever.
For who
- — Private clients furnishing a home for the long term
- — Interior architects looking for a signature piece
- — Hospitality projects that refuse the catalogue
How it works
- 01
Conversation
You share the room, the use, the budget. We share references and constraints. One hour, in the gallery or on video.
- 02
Sketch
Two or three directions on paper, with materials and price bands. You pick one.
- 03
Prototype
A 1:1 mockup in the workshop where relevant — for seating, for anything the body touches.
- 04
Build
Six to fourteen weeks, depending on scale and finish. You get progress photos, not silence.
- 05
Install
White-glove delivery in Belgium, crated shipping worldwide.
Why Red Kettle
Belgian craft, honest timelines, one point of contact.
Belgian makers only
Every piece is designed and built within a small circle of Antwerp-based studios. No white-labelling, no anonymous supply chains.
Named materials
Oak, walnut, brass, lime plaster, glazed stoneware. If we can't name where a material comes from, we don't use it.
One contact from sketch to install
Maarten stays on your project from the first sketch to the day it lands in your room. No hand-offs, no lost emails.

What clients say.
"Maarten redrew our table three times until it fit the room. It's now the piece guests always touch first."
"Red Kettle is our first call for collectible pieces with soul. Delivery is calm, sourcing is honest."
"I came for a Peacock, left with an entire room plan. No pressure, no upsell — just clarity."
"Twelve custom seats, delivered on the day promised. Not one plank out of place."
07 — Questions
Frequently asked.
Do you ship worldwide?+
Yes. In-hand delivery in Belgium, crated shipping worldwide — we quote per piece and share the crate size before you commit.
Can I commission a variant of a gallery piece?+
Almost always. Materials, dimensions, and finish can be adjusted. Start on the Custom / Maatwerk page or ask via the chat.
How long does a custom piece take?+
Six to fourteen weeks from signed sketch, depending on scale, materials, and the maker's queue.
Do you offer interior advice remotely?+
Yes. A written note is the same document whether we visit in person or on video. In-person is stronger for large projects.
Is the price shown the final price?+
For gallery pieces, yes — VAT included where applicable. Shipping and install are quoted separately.
Can I visit the gallery?+
Thu–Sat 11–18, Sun 13–17, or by appointment. Coffee is on us.
