Wolterinck

What Wolterinck does

Wolterinck is a private, high-end multidisciplinary design bureau headquartered in Laren, Netherlands, operating since 1986. The studio delivers an integrated portfolio spanning architecture, garden design, interior design, interior decoration, styling, art curation and product design, with projects ranging from full design trajectories to targeted interior advisory work for villas, apartments, holiday homes, yachts, offices and hospitality venues.

Underlying its service work is a proprietary totaalconcept (total concept) method in which the seven disciplines are executed jointly to deliver cohesive inside-outside environments, supported by 3D visualizations and floor plans for client preview. The firm has commercialized its design IP through the By Wolterinck sub-brand, producing signature objects such as the KLM Tower, consoles and design books (EDEN GARDEN DESIGNS, DESIGNEREI). Operational technology is limited to standard design tools and an own webshop for direct e-commerce; no AI/ML or proprietary platform systems are disclosed in the source data.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) professional design services billed via base fees plus hourly rates, (ii) direct-to-consumer product sales through the Laren showroom and online webshop with home delivery, and (iii) a 10% commission on third-party product acquisitions advised by the studio. Distribution is anchored by the Laren flagship showroom (The Living Gallery), supported by a curated ecosystem of manufacturing partners including Maretti Lighting, Vonder and Staallokaal. The primary customer segment is high-net-worth private individuals, supplemented by enterprise and hospitality accounts under the Corporate Studio vertical, with active project geographies spanning the Netherlands, France, Greece, Germany, Israel, Spain, Uruguay and Russia.
