The face behind Retrodesign is Frans de Wit, originally a carpenter. Frans is a true craftsman with a keen eye for quality and detail. Frans scours the internet, fairs and markets in search of the best in the world of second-hand furniture. Items that need extra attention, Frans fixes up himself; re-veneer, re-upholster or give a new coat of paint. Only when they are at their best again do they go into sale, on their way to their second life. 

​

Do you have a special piece of furniture in your home that you would like to have refurbished or upholstered? Frans helps you restore and renew your furniture. Upholstering, refurbishing and repairing furniture is always done in consultation. Restoring can be done in various ways, both the wood/veneer of your beautiful teak cabinet and the reupholstering of your seating furniture.
