Luxury furniture and decor, designed in England

It was 1999 and Annabel Astor was struggling to decorate her house. She had searched the United Kingdom for beautifully designed furniture at affordable prices, but she just couldn’t find any. A couple of weeks later she sat down with Sue Jones and Lucinda Waterhouse and told them about her plans to start an interiors brand, she’d found a gap in the market. They were old friends and these lunches were regular, but by the main course Annabel had convinced them to join her.

Within months the trio set off on an adventure, they travelled millions of miles and searched some of the most remote towns in search of the finest craftspeople in the world. Each Founder has a different style, skills and experience but that was such an integral part of why they worked so well together. Every single design had to be loved by all of them, or else it was not allowed to become part of the collection.

OKA launched as a mail-order company, their first magazine showcased pieces made from the finest woven rattan and their office was a typical barn in the English countryside. This was just the start of the journey, within a couple of years they opened their first (of many) stores and become a well-known brand in England, but they had another ambition: they wanted to launch in the United States, little did they know it would take them twenty years to fulfil this dream.

Two decades have passed since OKA officially launched and the three friends are still travelling the world, discovering the greatest craftspeople to bring their designs to life.
