OKA
OKA is a prominent British interior brand known for its exquisite furniture and homewares. The company was founded in 1999 by Lady Annabel Astor, Sue Jones, and Lucinda Waterhouse, who introduced unique designs from the Far East to Western shoppers through their mail-order interiors company, OKA Direct.
Starting with a catalog featuring handcrafted rattan accessories and storage, OKA quickly gained popularity. In 2019, the brand was acquired by Investindustrial, and it reported an impressive revenue of £30 million.
The name "OKA" is derived from the word "ochre," symbolizing a connection to the East while embracing a distinctly British identity. The idea of OKA is around designing products that improve the quality of time spent with loved ones while putting an emphasis on beauty, comfort, and style without adhering to a particular aesthetic.
The brand's allure lies in its carefully curated blend of global treasures, luxurious textures, timeless furniture designs, and an ever-changing yet quintessentially British character. With 13 experiential stores in the UK, 3 in the US, and a strong online presence, OKA continues to flourish. In 2020, the company's UK sales reached an impressive £30 million.
Recently, OKA has introduced an exciting addition to its offerings: Tailored by OKA. This bespoke collection features meticulously crafted sofas and armchairs that are handmade to order in the UK. With Tailored by OKA, customers have the opportunity to personalize their furniture with over 800 unique combinations. This exclusive service allows individuals to select their preferred upholstery, finishes, and details, ensuring that each piece reflects their personal style and preferences.
