What beton corthout does

Studio Beton is a Belgian artisan studio based in Heist-op-den-Berg, Belgium, that specializes in microbeton (microcement) interior finishes and bespoke concrete design objects. Its core craft is the seamless application of microbeton — a thin cement-based coating with waterproof properties — to floors, walls, bathroom and shower surfaces, and custom furniture, supplemented by proprietary stuctechnieken (structural techniques) and schildertechnieken (painting techniques) that allow finishes ranging from subtle to sculptural. In parallel with project work, the studio produces three retail product lines — washbasins (five named SKUs priced €599–€899), tables (eight designs including dining, sculptural, and an outdoor model), and lighting (three customizable luminaires) — all handcrafted in small series at its atelier. The team is led by Tim and operates with appointment-only customer engagement, emphasizing craftsmanship, material quality, and timeless design.

The business generates revenue through two channels. The primary stream is consultative custom interior finishing projects executed in collaboration with architects and private residential clients in Belgium, with pricing quote-based per contract. The secondary stream is direct-to-consumer sales of design objects via the studiobeton.be webshop, supported by two physical showrooms (Heist-op-den-Berg headquarters and Antwerpen) and €90 domestic shipping with international shipping available on request. Customer segments are split between architects and design professionals, high-end private residential clients, and commercial/hospitality venues; named clients include NEBO Restaurant (Michelin-starred, Antwerpen) and Optiek Louis Nijlen, alongside architecture firm collaborations with Mossoux Architecten, Mieke Van Herck Architecten, OXID Interieur, and LO Architectuur.

The business model is best characterized as a hybrid craft studio and design brand: a small atelier-led team produces both one-off installation projects (where the value lies in skilled labor and on-site application) and catalog products (where the value lies in proprietary design and small-batch handmade production). Pricing is publicly disclosed only for catalog SKUs; custom project pricing is quote-based. The company is privately held, with no parent, subsidiaries, or public listing disclosed. Geographic operations are concentrated in Flanders, Belgium, with no global footprint claim, though international shipping on design objects is offered on request.
