One point of contact, from concept to completion.
Custom dimensions, special finishes, project-specific developments. Questions are answered with product knowledge and direct manufacturer contact, so the design intent holds when it moves from concept to specification.
01
Brief & concept
We join early, review the design intent and indicate which manufacturers and solutions fit the project.
02
Specification
Product selection, finishes, dimensions and project suitability, worked out to a level you can specify.
03
Technical development
Drawings, 3D files, light planning and acoustic calculations where applicable, developed with the manufacturer.
04
Quotation & coordination
Clear project quotations and technical coordination between design team, contractor and manufacturer.

Stijn Ketelaar · Founder · Specification & Project Support
“Connecting design, people and business.”
With more than 20 years in the international furniture, interior and lighting industry, I have built up in-depth knowledge of products, materials and finishes, and of how they perform in real projects.
Architects, interior architects and fit-out contractors bring me their questions: a material or finish, a custom dimension, a lighting or acoustic challenge, a technical detail. I take them to the right manufacturer and help turn the answer into a workable specification.
I know what the manufacturers I represent can do beyond their standard collections. Personal contact and reliability are at the heart of how I work.
