Specialised in the design and manufacture of bespoke, exclusive, luxury staircases
The time when staircases were just a means to get from one floor to another, has long passed. Today, staircases have evolved into architectural masterpieces, serving as focal points that define and enhance the overall aesthetic of a space.
At Smet, we recognise this paradigm shift and embrace the opportunity for creativity, innovation and expression. Whether it's a grand staircase that makes a bold statement in a luxury home or a sleek, minimalist staircase that adds a touch of modern elegance to a commercial space, we strive to create designs that leave a lasting impression.
Our story
Our UK operation was established at the beginning of the millennium, following the successful installation of an initial commission in Surrey. Since then, we have built a strong reputation for designing and delivering bespoke, luxury staircases tailored to each individual project. Working closely with clients, architects and developers, we combine craftsmanship, high-quality materials and innovative design to create distinctive architectural features.
Over the years, we have contributed and worked on some of the most prestigious projects and have fitted staircases in all areas of the UK - from Guernsey to the North of Scotland, with a focus on the Greater London area.
This long and steady track record was rewarded when we won 'The Whiteley London' contract, an extensive redevelopment project of an iconic London landmark into private residences, retailers, restaurants and the UK's first Six Senses hotel.

Ensuring Your Satisfaction
Architectural design
We work closely with architects and designers and manage every step of the staircase design. From concept to installation, we ensure precision and efficiency with these five steps:
1| Mark Up and Review of Architect's Plan
2| Preliminary Setting-Out
3| Feasibility and Engineering
4| Detailed Setting Out and 3D model
5| CGI's
For Professionals
Smet is a partner for professionals, not just a supplier.
We work closely with contractors and other industry professionals to deliver bespoke staircases for complex, high‑end projects. Through early technical input, clear detailing and full in‑house manufacture and installation, we take responsibility for the entire staircase. Whether working in timber, metal, stone, glass or something entirely different, we make challenging designs easier to specify, build and deliver, without compromising your vision.
