OKA Magazine: Autumn/Winter 2023 (US Edition)

September is something of an enigma, simultaneously ushering in endings and new beginnings. It feels like we’re trying as hard as we can to hold on to summer, as well as secretly reveling in the idea of snuggling up again. It’s a time for easing into coziness; a slow migration, which I always particularly enjoy.

Within these pages there’s everything you’ll need for layering up, including some of our favorite pieces—from the classics to the latest launches. Among the latter is our new dining table collection, which allows you to tailor the base, finish and size to your space—you’ll spy these star players holding court in our seasonal looks, set in quintessentially British homes.

To brighten darkening days, we invite you to uncover Thanksgiving tablescaping ideas (p.18), count the rainbow of upholstery hues available in our custom furniture collection, Tailored by OKA (p.34), and enjoy an edit from friend of OKA Wiggy Hindmarch, founder of the travel-inspired womenswear brand Wiggy Kit (p.38). I do hope you find something that perfectly suits you and your home.

A Cut Above

Lovingly made to order by the finest craftspeople, our Tailored by OKA collection offers more than 1,000 ways to bring your personal style home

From the initial concepts, cooked up by our Co-Founder and Creative Director Sue Jones and the team, to the mills from which we source no less than nine fabrics, to the workshop where each piece is expertly brought to life, it takes a village to create every Tailored by OKA design. And, of course, there’s you—the person who brings those elements together to create their dream furniture.

We know that homes are personal, which is why we ensured our made-toorder collection puts you in the creative driving seat. You can choose from eight sofas, seven armchairs and a footstool, each of which bridges the gap between classic and contemporary style. “You’ll see embellishment and print in our core collection,” says Sue, “but with Tailored we really wanted craftsmanship and comfort to take center stage, through the shapes, structure and even the stitching.” As for the upholstery, the choice is yours, too. All styles are available in fabrics spanning natural Belgian linens, leather, wool, linen-wool blends and their “clever” linen and velvet counterparts. The latter have been designed to provide the look and feel of the classic materials but with increased durability and stain- and water-resisting properties, making them perfect for homes with young children or pets. We aren’t short on colors, either, with more than 30 options (and counting), all of which echo the signature hues you’ll find threaded throughout our collection. Whether you opt for Paprika clever velvet or Walnut linen, your chosen shade will not only complement your style, but the rest of your OKA pieces, too.

Story of My Home

WIGGY HINDMARCH

The founderof fashion brand Wiggy Kit on riverside views in London and beach parties in the Bahamas

Way to Wake Up: My bedroom actually overlooks the River Thames—every morning I wake up and open all the windows, and I’m greeted by the sound of rowers. So, I lie in bed with my cup of tea and listen to all these poor people getting shouted at.

Workspace: I’m really lucky in the fact that I live in a very old, historic house, but the kitchen is in a modern glass box in the backyard, so when you’re in there you’re completely ensconced in nature. If I’m doing a design session, I have to be at my kitchen table looking out of the window.

Dinner Party Game: My two favorites are Articulate and Linkee—I always win at Linkee. The other one that’s really great is [South American dice game] Perudo; it’s an excellent game and you can get everyone around the table to play— it gets very competitive. My family plays a lot of games, especially in our house in the Bahamas. We’ve now started doing a yearly trivia tournament on the beach, and we have about 75 people who come to it. It’s great.

Way to Greet Guests: We always have music playing when people arrive. For me, it’s all about setting the scene; in my house it’s usually pitch black apart from a bunch of candles, music’s going, the fire’s blazing and I have a drink in my hand.

6pm Cocktail: It depends where I am. If I’m abroad somewhere hot, it would be a spicy ginger margarita with a salt rim. Otherwise it’s a glass of champagne.

Night In Alone: It might start off with either a massage or an assisted stretching session, then a bath, followed by watching some sort of true crime thing on Netflix.

Dance-Around-the-Kitchen Song: There are so many, because that’s the place where I dance all the time. We have the best boogies in our kitchen. It would probably be 1980s hip hop, something like ‘Jump Around’ by House of Pain.

House Plant: I love house plants. I’ve got orchids everywhere, just because you can pick them up when you go to the supermarket. The previous owner of our house was [British designer] Cath Kidston and she was mad for geraniums—when we first moved into the house there were geraniums everywhere. I really like gardenias because they smell very strongly, and I like hydrangeas as well.

Color Palette: I love green, but it has to be greens that you find in nature. For me, my environment and the colors that are around me are really important. I’m in the process of redoing my house right now and I won’t let anyone get involved in the choice of fabrics or colors because I’m just so specific; I know exactly what I like.

Book You Always Return To: I’m definitely planning to reread The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. I’ve also read John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil a couple of times. I basically like any book set in America, as that’s where my heart lies when I read fiction. TodiscovermoreofHindmarch’sworld, visitwiggykit.comorfollowheron Instagram@wiggykit
