SIXINCH

SIXINCH is a Belgian design brand for foam-coated furniture and architectural objects. The company was founded in 2003 by Pieter Jamart and Michel Sels in Belgium. The starting point was Jamart's search in 2002 for a foam-coating supplier for his graduation design project — without success. He began experimenting in his garage, developed his own formula and, a year later, founded SIXINCH with Sels. The name derives from the skull width between the ears — 150 mm, or six inches — the place where creativity resides. 2007: first international expansion with Sixinch Japan and its own factory in Sapporo. 2013: strategic partnership with Wieland Designs (USA). Today: production facilities in 11 countries; headquarters in Belgium.

Core competence: "FlexPlus" technology — a three-step coating process of high-density polyurethane foam, adhesion layer, protective layer and colour layer. Result: flexible, seamless, weather-resistant, hygienic and 100% waterproof surfaces in over 20 standard colours and unlimited custom colours. Range: sofas, armchairs, lounge chairs, bar stools, tables, modular seating systems and architectural installation objects — as a standard collection and fully customisable for bespoke projects. References: Bollywood star residence (India), Al Pacino (Louis II armchair) and Gensler (New York, JFK Airport).

SIXINCH is for hospitality designers, retail architects and event designers the international specialist address for colourful, sculptural and weather-resistant furniture objects in coated foam — with a unique material platform, a decentralised production model across 11 countries and a global client base spanning Hollywood stars to leading international architecture firms.
