We come from a furniture background. Years of working with different designs, materials and construction methods have taught us what to look for and where we can make things better. We combine that experience with modern design tools, working with designers and artists to develop ideas and refine each piece. We call this Design Intelligence. It shapes everything from the proportions and comfort to how a piece is produced. Each piece is made to order, with a choice of fabrics, finishes and configurations to suit your home. We help you bring those choices together, with thoughtful design, lasting comfort and a fair price.

Our Antwerp store at Kloosterstraat 44 brings our collection into a space you can experience for yourself. Sit down, compare fabrics and see the details up close. We’re there to guide with sizes, combinations and finding what feels right for you.Art and creative collaborations are part of Kartono too. Our store brings furniture and work by other creatives together, giving our community a place to discover, share and find inspiration.

Our furniture is designed in Belgium and made in Portugal by experienced makers. We select the materials ourselves, from the structure beneath the upholstery to the fabric you touch every day.We select our materials for their proven quality, comfort and durability. Each is chosen to stand up to everyday use and keep looking and feeling good over time.Years of working with furniture have taught us which materials last. We choose them ourselves, with quality and comfort as our starting point.
