Oliver Richardson - Founder

Over the last 25 years I have been immersed in the vibrant world of high-end, design-led contemporary furniture. My journey has encompassed diverse roles within leading companies, from strategic purchasing and dynamic sales roles in both commercial and retail settings, to the intricacies of product and brand development and operational management in furniture production. This broad experience has equipped me with a comprehensive knowledge of the furniture industry, from initial design concepts to final installations in projects varying in scale and complexity.

Drawing from this knowledge, Oridesign is dedicated to curating and supplying exceptional products sourced from across Europe and Scandinavia to discerning architects and designers in the UK's workplace and hospitality sectors. By working with a trusted partner dealer network, I aim to provide a streamlined, seamless and efficient procurement process - I would myself expect.

My passion is rooted primarily in furniture that not only embodies outstanding design but also prioritises reliability and sustainable values. I understand the unique challenges of large-scale project procurement and am committed to delivering holistic solutions that address aesthetic, environmental, cost and logistical requirements.

With a deep-rooted commitment to excellence and a keen eye for detail honed from experience, I look forward to collaborating with brands and clients alike to bring aspiration to life.
