    A rich history
    Lande Family has a rich history as a Brabant family business with generations of strong brands. It began in 1970 with the production of steel furniture for wholesalers under the name Jami in Schijndel. For the first twenty years, we also focused on the production of steering chairs and bases for the nautical market with Zwaardvis. After that, we changed course from mass production to customer-specific production. In 1998, Lande Family acquired the Artifort design brand, which has been making history since 1890, and in 2012, the acquisition of Pörtner was finalised. With the Lande brand, we have also been focusing on project design for a number of years. In 2021, A Lott Of Space was founded within the family, with circularity as its starting point.
