“Everyone deserves beautiful homes, not just the wealthy.”
Roland Toh, Managing Director, OM
Furnishing your home with designer furniture doesn’t mean a large hole
in your bank account, if OM has anything to say about it. For the past two
years, the industrious merchandising team at our favourite furniture
store has painstakingly picked out a range of elegant and contemporary
furniture collections by Sean Dix, Mario Mazzer, Gal Tevet, Vincenzo Vinci
and Silvia Marlia, five of the most sought after furniture designers in the
world, which will turn your home from humdrum to hubba hubba!

world, living in Fiji, Micronesia, Philippines, Europe
and Hong Kong. He specialises in the creation of
retail concepts for luxury brands and high-impact
interior projects for bars, restaurants and domestic
interiors. His furniture range is titled Dix Collection.
Silvia Marlia
Raised among Italian designers in an architectural
environment, it is no wonder Silvia Marlia’s
passion for design and aesthetics began at a young
age. She combines the Steiner and Montessori
approaches to her educational children furniture
collection, sand furniture.
