History
Esschert Design designs and produces articles related to garden and nature. These original articles are functional, decorative or both. That makes them surprisingly fun to use and to receive as gifts.
Founder, Mrs Ria Mosterd, started the company in 1989 from the beautiful Twente countryside, in the 15th-century farmhouse "Het Esschert". You can still see this farm today in the logo of today's Esschert Design.In 1993, two of her four sons (Arend & Gerard Mosterd) joined the company and started the wholesale branch. Right from the start, the wholesale collection was formed by items that were designed by the company itself and produced especially for Esschert Design.
Today, there are some 2.6 million items on the shelf and Esschert Design exports to more than 68 different countries.

Sustainability
Sustainability is in our nature and is deeply rooted in our organization. For over 30 years, we have been striving to create a healthy and liveable outdoor environment. We do this with our collections that encourage outdoor living and promote biodiversity. We want to introduce people, especially children, to nature and the outdoors and ensure they enjoy it—not just this generation, but many generations to come! Therefore, sustainability is in our DNA.
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility
As a growing and leading company, we also have a great responsibility. We want to conduct business sustainably and responsibly with common sense. We aim to structure important themes within our operations for the long term rather than being swayed by daily trends.
Sustainability Pillars of Esschert Design
Our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy is an integral part of our business strategy, uniting all sustainability initiatives. All initiatives, goals, and plans are divided into four sustainability pillars.
