..because we’re about to change your mind
METAMORPHIC Nothing ever really goes away - it just changes Into something else. Metamorphic intervention is inevitable in our hands. That condusive spark to make change happen by seeking to create the “new” through reclaimation. This is what we do at Omforme taking back the beauty that has fallen at our feet. Inside our winter collection is but a tip of the proverbial iceberg with what we can conceive with upcycled materials turned into goods for the home. Nothing here is shabby chic, but a more modern, gritty, glamorous tone brimming with an influx of excitment beyond any previous history of the raw materials. Reinvention is about the past and the future. It’s about the shift forward by taking a step back to view our environment. It’s about living for the future in the present. Embrace it, for the beauty is in the moment.
