In short; STAS… the art of hanging art!

Rien Stas, a self-employed handyman, was asked to hang works of art early in the nineteen nineties. His research into existing picture hanging systems soon led to the conclusion that he could make a better design…

In 1995, Rien founded STAS picture hanging systems together with his brother André. Rien concentrated on development and André was responsible for general management of the company. The range expanded rapidly and it was obvious that the company’s innovations in the area of picture hanging systems satisfied an unanswered need in the market as they were a resounding success from the very start! STAS innovates based on the following philosophy: a suitable solution for every application. 

Most of the company’s clever hanging systems are patented and STAS has won many awards with its designs. And we are not just successful in the Netherlands; we have made a name for ourselves all over the world and export to more than 50 countries! Today, with the help of its customers, STAS has grown into a substantial company. One thing is certain: we will continue to innovate in the years to come!

During the international exhibition for inventors in Geneva (Salon International des Inventions), STAS was awarded the gold medal for its Smart Spring hanging hook design.

In 2001, STAS cobra was voted a ‘Good Industrial Design’ in Amsterdam. The patented STAS minirail hanging system won the prestigious Best New Product Award for Decorative Accessories. This important award is for products in the interior design sector that set new standards in terms of good design, functionality and durability. STAS received this highly respected accolade at the designEX exhibition in Melbourne during the 21^staward ceremony.

The STAS multirail was nominated in 2012 for the MKB Innovation Top 100. The top 100 is considered the largest and most important innovation for companies in MKB

In addition, STAS’ range now includes more than 20 patented products. STAS is also working on new developments for the future and intends to vigorously defend its position as an innovative market leader in the years to come!
