ABOUT
COMPANY
Oasis offers so much more than a selection of furniture. Indeed, the company aims to propose a complete and coordinated interior design, inspired by an idea: the beauty of 1900.
Icons like Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiapparelli – in fashion, modernist architectures, stylised decorations – are the reference of the Oasis world.
The decorative lines, vibrant colours and metals and sensual contours are the characterising features of that artistic period which could be also found in Oasis collections as a unifying thread.
Nevertheless Oasis also looks at the decades of great Italian design and architecture, from the 1930s to the 1950s, to capture the secret of blending different raw materials in a new, unique and universal design.
Moreover, the great Italian heritage of skillful craftsmen gives the final touch to the proposal. Oasis believes in the high values of artisanal tradition: thus it collaborates with 30 workshops, specialised in the manufacture of different types of glass, mirrors, metals and gold.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE
Such is the description often attributed to the style and character of the Oasis brand whose products are born of a constantly evolving material and design research focus with the ultimate aim of satisfying the differing needs and desires of clients from diverse cultures and backgrounds as well as capturing yet always keeping one step ahead of the prevailing trends.
