The Vision
Making a modern utopia out of previously owned furnishings through innovative interior design. If you’ve gone shopping lately for new furnishings, you may have noticed the high prices many big box stores are asking for mass produced stock. Furnishings, that have been made cheaply overseas with a shelf life of 3-5 years before planned deterioration becomes apparent. That repurchasing cycle is what all big box stores rely on to stay in business.
At Omforme, we prefer contributing to an eco-friendly, circular economy by restyling existing furnishings into metamorphic statements of sophistication. It takes hard work, creativity and a whole lot of design experience to turn furniture into coveted works of art. In our vision, it is the right thing to do to save our beautiful planet from further destruction. Over 12 billion tons of furnishings are thrown into landfill yearly in the U.S. alone. Imagine the crisis on a global scale. These are the realities of purchasing “Fast Furniture”, a term used for cheap, mass produced items and replicas found online and through major retail chains; proving that the “Golden Age of Replicas” we’ve been urged to purchase over the past 25 years isn’t really golden.
