Our Story

Hey everyone, Carl here, founder of Ohara Wares.

I’m a Singapore-born designer based in Amsterdam. Before this, I built Tuft Club, Singapore’s first tufting studio. Running it taught me how much a single textile can change the way a room feels, and I haven’t stopped thinking about that since.

Ohara Wares started in 2025 with a small moment. I was in Mexico City, watching tree shadows move across a wall, and I wanted to bring that kind of stillness into a home. Since then I’ve been collecting things like it: the veins in a leaf, a ripple in water, the layers in a piece of stone, light coming through cloud. Each design is one of those moments, translated into thread.

Every throw is jacquard woven from 100% cotton. They’re made to soften with time and to be used, on your sofa, your bed, or hung on a wall. I’m not interested in seasonal drops or trends. I’d rather make a few things properly and have them stay in your home for years. Thank you for being here and for supporting something this small. I’m excited to share what’s coming next.
