For over 140 years and 6 generations, Bastide has been creating and distributing products whose sole purpose is to bring pleasure, joy, sharing and conviviality.
Our history
1880. The start of a great family adventure. It was on this date, symbolic today for the company, that four Bastide brothers set up in Alès (Gard) to trade in earthenware, pottery and glassware. Fuelled by a respect for fine craftsmanship and a love of the noble, living materials that are ceramics and glass, this brotherhood of Cévennes entrepreneurs embarked on a project that would span the century to come.
"A family united around the same passion".
In 2019, the company DESIGN FRAMES founded in 1977 by Jean Descamps and based in Villeneuve d'Ascq near Lille, has joined the Group, adding to its range of home decoration products.
Over the years, the company has continued to develop its distribution activities in France and abroad, until it has become a major player in its market.
Today, with a strong and proud team of 200 men and women, Bastide works every day to perpetuate its values: passion for the product, and customer satisfaction for professionals and private individuals through listening, advice and service.
All this while remaining true to its local roots and its retail identity, thanks to its historic shops in Ales and Nîmes.
Tableware, cooking accessories, small electrical appliances, decorative items, lighting, furniture, children's products, timeless flowers: our two departments offer over 13,000 products under 7 of our own brands and 100 distributed brands: TABLE & KITCHEN (Bastide Diffusion) and DECORATION (Cadès Design).
"Conviviality, sharing, aesthetics, the quest
well-being at home: these are the strong themes
that unite our rich and varied offer".
