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

The company traces its origin to over almost a century ago when it started as a general joinery business in Belgium. In the last 35 years, it has specialised solely on staircases and has produced more than 30,000 unique designs.

Our UK operation started at the beginning of the millennium when the first Smet commission was installed in Surrey. The customer was so impressed that he made an investment in our company to help us expand. Since we started our UK operation, we have 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.
