Canadians in Belgium

Belgian design in Canada - or should we say Canadians in Belgium?

We did an amazing trip where we brought some of our Canadian buyers to Belgium to visit the showrooms and headquarters of our Belgian brands. 

Read the full recap as well as testimonials here:

DAY 1

We started the day with a tour of the Heatsail showroom and their in-house production. 

We enjoyed a lunch with the beautiful Serax dinnerware collection and toured their showroom. 

We ended the day by visiting the new production area and showroom of Thermalux

DAY 2

The second day started with a tour of the Royal Botania showroom, and lunch on their comfy chairs.

We toured the Reynaers Aluminum factory, discovering their innovative window and door solutions.

In the evening we had a guided tour through the old town of Antwerp and ended the night with a lovely dinner at Marcel.

DAY 3

The third day started off strong with the Drisag experience centre, showcasing sustainable office solutions. 

We sat down on all the different Indera sofa’s, and tried out all the different motorized functions they offer.

Our guests toured the Moome factory and experienced their in-house testing and expertise. 

DAY 4

On the last day, we visited the Vincent Sheppard house, where we got to see and feel their Lloyd Loom indoor furniture. 

We visited the sunny Roolf Living “Roolftop” with their Dotty and Silky collection.

We got treated to a lovely lunch under a Renson pergola, and enjoyed a tour of the Noa Outdoor Living park. 

What the Canadians had to say:

Wow what an amazing trip….we have been to a lot of vendor trips but this by far is the one for the memory lane. Thank you so much for all the hospitality and amazing times.

I truly understand that it takes a lot to organize something like this and I thank you for making us all so comfortable and showing us around Belgium with true Belgian Hospitality.
