Pabio

Pabio was a Swiss startup that operated a home interior subscription service. Founded in 2020, the company combined personalized interior design with high-quality furniture rental, charging customers a monthly subscription fee. Its model was aimed at people who wanted well-designed living spaces without the commitment and upfront cost of buying furniture outright. The service was available in Switzerland. Pabio shut down in 2023, and its website now displays a shutdown notice dated October 25, 2023. The company is described as a home interior subscription service, reflecting a broader category of furniture-as-a-service startups that emerged in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Despite its short operating life, Pabio represents an example of the subscription economy extending into home furnishings and interior design.
