Pastoe

What Pastoe does

Pastoe is a Dutch heritage furniture design and manufacturing brand founded in 1913 in Utrecht and currently headquartered in Breda, Netherlands as Pastoe Furniture B.V. Following bankruptcy, the company was acquired in March 2024 by a joint venture between lifestyle brand Moooi and RSGA Design (which comprises Rietveld Originals, Spectrum, Gelderland, and Atelier Artiforte). The company designs and sells storage cabinets, seating, and lighting, with signature pieces including the A'dammer storage cabinet with roller shutter mechanism, the Wire Series by Cees Braakman, the Zwaan armchair by Gerrit Rietveld, the Landscape Cabinet, and sculptural lighting from Atelier Artiforte. Products are customizable through 24 RAL/NCS color options and emphasize timeless Dutch design heritage tied to the De Stijl movement.

The company operates a platform-plus-sub-brands architecture, having unified Spectrum, Rietveld Originals, and Atelier Artiforte under the Pastoe name in December 2025. Revenue is generated through one-time purchase sales of furniture and lighting distributed via three channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at pastoe.com (with US shipping free over $100, $10 flat rate below), an authorized global dealer network of 100+ Premium, Excellent, and standard Partners across Europe, North America, and Asia, and Moooi's webshop and global distribution infrastructure. The customer base spans individual design-conscious consumers, architects and interior designers who specify Pastoe for residential and commercial projects, and dealer/retail partners, with no subscription or recurring revenue model.

Direct peers

• HAY: Danish contemporary design furniture and accessories brand with broad global distribution through design stores and own retail. Pastoe overlaps with HAY in the design-conscious consumer and dealer channel, though HAY skews more contemporary and Pastoe more heritage.
• Vitra: Swiss premium designer furniture manufacturer with an extensive portfolio of collaborations with mid-century and contemporary designers (Eames, Girard, Prouvé). Pastoe competes for the same architect/interior-designer specifier audience and operates a similar global dealer-and-showroom distribution model.
• Cassina: Italian heritage premium furniture manufacturer (Poltrona Frau Group) holding rights to Le Corbusier, Gio Ponti, and Gerrit Rietveld designs. Cassina is a direct competitor for Pastoe's Rietveld Originals and museum-grade archive pieces, particularly in the European specifier market.
• Muuto: Scandinavian contemporary design furniture and lighting brand with strong global dealer and e-commerce presence. Muuto is a peer in the design-conscious consumer and architect/specifier channel, particularly for the lighting category that Pastoe now addresses through Atelier Artiforte.
• Flos: Italian premium designer lighting brand with iconic Castiglioni and Scarpa designs. Flos is the closest lighting analogue to Pastoe's Atelier Artiforte, competing for the same designer-specification and design-connoisseur customer base globally.
• Knoll: American premium design furniture company with iconic mid-century catalog (Saarinen, Bertoia, Mies van der Rohe) and strong specification presence in North American commercial projects. Pastoe competes with Knoll for the same architect-and-designer specification dollars in the US market.
• Fritz Hansen: Danish heritage premium furniture maker known for Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm designs, with global showroom and dealer distribution. Pastoe mirrors Fritz Hansen's model of reissuing and producing canonical designer pieces for the design-professional channel.
• Carl Hansen & Søn: Danish heritage premium furniture manufacturer producing Hans Wegner and other canonical Danish designs. Comparable to Pastoe in its model of reissuing and producing heritage designer pieces for a global design-professional and design-connoisseur audience.
• Gervasoni: Italian premium contemporary and heritage-inspired furniture and lighting brand distributed through independent design showrooms in Europe and internationally. Gervasoni is a direct comparable in terms of scale, multi-channel distribution, and positioning in the design-professional channel.
• Artemide: Italian premium architectural and decorative lighting brand with deep specifier relationships. With Atelier Artiforte now under the Pastoe umbrella, Pastoe competes directly with Artemide in the sculptural-lighting segment sold through architects and design showrooms.
