The Romo Group

“The Romo Group stands for creativity, innovation, exclusivity and consistent quality. Our customers are the vanguard of our ambitions.”

How was The Romo Group founded?

Rolf Bakx: “The Romo Group was founded in 1902 by Robert Mould. Today this family business is run by the fifth generation. Romo has expanded into an international market leader in the field of exclusive fabrics, wallpaper, passementerie and accessories for both the private market and project-related interiors.”

How are the various collections created?

“The Romo Group now manages six different brands, each with their own unique characteristics. At the same time, all of these collections complement each other. In creating our fabrics and wallpaper we work in close collaboration with carefully selected expert weavers and printers. Moreover, each brand has its own in-house design studio with experienced designers.”

How do you see the future of interior design in the Netherlands?

A beautiful development, which we are happy to stimulate with our products.”
