Adrian was traditionally trained in the art of timber carpentry, with his studio’s minimalist approach to design drawing inspiration from the key influences of the midcentury Danish and Japanese furniture design movements. Adrian utilises an in-depth understanding of natural materials to create pieces that are eternal in style and quality. “I adore working with timber as a material,” states Adrian. “I don’t want to bombard the user with detailing so I favour a subtle approach to design that aims to let the timber sing, and allows its natural beauty to shine through.”

Olas uses subtle human-design to create sustainable furniture pieces that are key elements in a steady war being waged against the culture of fast trends and disposability in the furniture industry. Adrian and his team are committed to supporting the locally-made Australian furniture industry. “The majority of our timbers are sourced in Australia and from the non-profit American agency FSC Certified” explains Adrian proudly. “We are pleased to use a traditionalist miller as part of our manufacturing process and love working with natural Australian wood.”
