What Vincent Sheppard does

Vincent Sheppard is a Belgian designer and manufacturer of handcrafted indoor and outdoor furniture, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Spiere, Belgium. The company is positioned as a worldwide leader in Lloyd Loom (Paper Loom) furniture — a proprietary technique that uses twisted kraft paper over steel wire — and also produces rattan and synthetic-wicker furniture, teak and oak timber pieces, and a brass-and-ceramic lighting line. Product design is led in Belgium while production is carried out by Indonesian artisans, and the firm exports to over 80 countries.

The portfolio is organized into named collections (Kodo, Frida, Roy, Titus, Tika, Arvin) spanning dining and lounge seating, tables, sofas, lanterns, sunloungers, parasols, and accessories, alongside a dedicated hospitality furniture offering. Vincent Sheppard monetizes through one-time wholesale purchases sold via an authorized global dealer network, complemented by direct enterprise sales for hospitality projects, a trade account program, a US warehouse in North Carolina, a Belgium showroom by appointment, and a separate service webshop for maintenance products. The customer base is split between residential consumers and the hospitality / commercial segment, with named project clients including Botanic Sanctuary Hotel, Bloom House Hotel & Spa, Club Med, Kempinski, InterContinental, and Novotel.
