A Century of Pastoe

Pastoe marks its centenary on 13 April 2013. From February 23rd to June 2nd, 2013, there will be an exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam (NL). A team of designers, architects, artists and photographers of national and international importance will be helping decide on suitable content for the festivities. The program is being put together around three themes: History, Environment and Innovation. A centennial book exploring these themes will be published in both Dutch and English editions.

A number of special offers will be brought out to mark the company’s hundred years in business, including a centennial cabinet!

Simplicity, timelessness, quality and craftsmanship have all been at the centre of Pastoe's philosophy. Pastoe invests in innovation and design to bring people surprisingly contemporary furniture that remains so. Durable aesthetics and a high standard of quality are concepts on which a lot of time is spent at Pastoe; by the furniture makers -with great care and knowledge-, and by the designers -with much passion and dedication.  Comfortable and easy on the eye, never intrusive and even remarkably familiar. Pure and fair, as if they've been around for years. Because a product needs to be more than its outward appearance. It needs personality; you should be able to love it, to get attached to it. The product needs to be able to age graciously. Pastoe stands for quality which has been reflected for decades. Pastoe understands as no other how valuable history is for the future. The past is both a source of inspiration and of commitment. That is the task Pastoe has assigned itself.
