Family founded since 2003

Solits was founded by Diego and Brenda Kooy, who started their own art gallery ”Spirits in Stone” in 2003. They noticed quite quickly that many customers required a suitable plinth or pedestal to purchase alongside the sculptures they bought. Always responsive to their customers’ needs, Diego and Brenda started to source a variety of plinths with the art. They discovered high quality plinths made from varieties of wood and stone, metals, glass, plastics, etc., and realized that there was no one-stop-shop for plinths and pedestals in the Netherlands. Subsequently they founded their online shop www.sokkel.nl in 2004.

Initially they sold the plinths through their art gallery in Wijk bij Duurstede, but since this part of the business kept growing, they first moved it to Den Hoorn and later on to Wateringen, The Netherlands. Both the head office and the production workshop are located there now.

This location provides easy access to transportation within the UK as there is a direct link by ferry boat between Hook of Holland and Harwich (UK). From there on, Solits plinths and display cases reach our customers all over the UK – from Southern England to Scotland and Wales, from Greater London,Essex, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Hampshire to Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Cumbria and Aberdeenshire, all the way to Highland and Northern Ireland. Our acrylic hoods and glass display cases, as well as exhibition stands and plinths can be found in museums, art galleries, shops, private homes and at trade fairs in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Edinburg, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Winchester, Salisbury, Bath, Southampton, York, Bristol, St. Albans the list is endless, and it makes us proud.

Solits now provides a large selection of plinths of proven quality. Moreover, we have specialised in providing advice and installation of plinths. Currently we are proud to name a large number of international galleries, museums, companies with art collections, exhibition participants, artists, sculptors and private orders to our clientele.
