About Us

Established in 2022 by co-founders Tom Chapman and Nicolas Pickaerts, ABASK shines a light on exceptional craftsmanship and design. Connecting people with the world’s finest objects and makers, we celebrate the artisanal process of creation, the hand touch, the local story, and the highest-quality materials and make.

The cultural and historical provenance of design is at the core of everything we do, as we discover functional and original objects that can’t be found anywhere else. In doing so, we preserve legacy skills and promote longevity.

The ABASK Experience

ABASK promises an intuitively designed e-commerce environment that delivers the best-in-class customer experience. We take the hard work out of choosing the most unexpected gift, personal collector’s item or interior design scheme. Our curation is presented by room to tailor your experience and further organized by our four style pillars: Modernist, Minimalist, Classic and Bohemian.

Our Makers and Objects

ABASK directly works with more than 350 specialist artisans from around the world, sourcing our objects first-hand and supporting small, independent businesses in the process. Like our makers, we are passionate about celebrating handcrafted design and playing our part in the preservation of traditional craftsmanship skills and techniques. Our relationships are built on trust and mutual appreciation, which grants us access to many illustrious archives that we proudly reissue icons of 20th-century design. We delight in sharing their stories.

Every object is sourced by our expert buying team and selected for its high quality and enduring design credentials. Each piece has the hand touch—from icons of the design world to our curation of products only at ABASK—and has been selected to be enjoyed now and become a future heirloom.

In 2024, we collaborated with Studio Shamshiri on our first home-design collaboration that proudly donates a portion of proceeds to Médecins Sans Frontières to support the organization in bringing life-saving medical care to people in need.

Our Services and Packaging

With everything in stock and ready to ship, we can deliver the full ABASK curation globally within one to six days. Alongside this, we guarantee secure payments, buyer’s protection and free returns via our collection service to cover all eventualities.

Our signature gift boxes are designed to evoke a sense of delight upon delivery, whether as a gift for someone else or a treat for oneself. Available at checkout at no extra cost, they feature exclusive and original artwork by Paris-based artist Sarah Martinon. We hope they will be repurposed around the home and become objects of function and decoration.

Through our multiple wishlist functionality, you can heart your favorite items, makers and stories for easy access from your account. Receive back-in-stock alerts and share them with loved ones when you’d like to drop a hint.

The ABASK Trade Program

Tailored to design professionals, the ABASK Trade Program unlocks a series of exclusive benefits to bring your creative vision to life. A dedicated contact will be on hand to provide end-to-end support, overseeing every aspect of design, sourcing and production through to final delivery requests.
