Olivia’s was born out of a desire to bring the best of the furniture world into one space. We search the world for the latest trends in designer and luxury interior design, working with industry experts to bring you beautiful furniture, normally only for industry insiders. Our award-winning interior designers hand-pick each item, working closely with various artisans, designers, and brands. How do you work with interior designers? We pride ourselves on being readily available for our clients as we work across many communication channels. We can also work in multiple ways depending on the type of client and project. Some companies use us solely as an ordering function with minimal intervention whereas others may use us to help source products, design spaces, and manage logistics.
