Casala International B.v.

What Casala International B.v. does

Casala International B.v. is a Dutch contract furniture manufacturer, founded in 1917 and headquartered in Culemborg, Netherlands, that designs and produces seating, tables, modular systems, acoustic solutions, and accessories for offices, public and commercial spaces. The company's product portfolio spans dozens of named chair programmes (Senna, Lynx I, Gabo, Riva, Omega, Onyx and many others), tables, beam seating, sofas, barstools, modular zoning systems (Gabo Modular, Riva), phone booths, room-in-room solutions (Kabanna), workspots, space dividers, and shelving, often developed in collaboration with named designers such as Santiago Sevillano and Robert Bronwasser. Core technology centres on circular furniture engineering: products are designed for reuse and recyclability, with shell components using up to 100% recycled plastic, steel containing up to 80% recycled material, and fabric options incorporating Seaqual Yarn (recycled marine PET); third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations and ISO 9001 certification support sustainability-tied institutional procurement.

The business operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting architects, designers, and project managers through a global dealer network plus company-owned or partnered showrooms in Amsterdam, London, Munich (DesignWerkschau), Paris (Garches), and additional design districts. Wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany (Casala Objektmöbel GmbH), the United Kingdom (Casala Ltd), and France (Casala S.à.r.l.) anchor European direct sales, alongside a dedicated worldwide export department. Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven with multi-year contract cadence; primary income comes from one-time contract furniture sales, with a growing secondary stream from circular services (ReFurniture, ReFurbish, OutletFurniture) covering reuse, refurbishment, and certified pre-owned sales. Customer segments span halls and venues, offices, education, hospitality, healthcare, and places of worship.
