A century of Dutch Design
Brabantia started in 1919 as Van Elderen & Co in Aalst Netherlands and began by producing milk cans, jugs, sieves and funnels. Over the years, Brabantia has grown into a global interior design brand, renowned for bringing smart and stylish design to kitchen and homeware. The first range of pedal bins was made in 1955. Another landmark was the launch of the iconic Patrice’ pattern in 1969, whilst the famous plastic corkscrew dates back to 1985. Modern-day favourites are the unique Bo Touch Bin and the Linn Collection for styling up your laundry. Products that are so delightful, they turn daily chores into cherished rituals.

BRABANTIA CELEBRATES 100 YEARS
In May 2019, Dutch interior design brand Brabantia celebrates its 100th anniversary. Great-grandfather Van Elderen produced his first milk cans and jugs in his small factory in Brabant in 1919. Little did he know that he was laying the foundation for an internationally loved household brand. In those 100 years Brabantia has won a special place in the homes and hearts of millions. With products that are so delightful, they turn daily chores into cherished rituals. And because they are stylish, well made and designed to be recycled, you can love using them as long as you want – without feeling guilty when you finally let them go. That’s ‘Designed for Living’.
