Here you can read up about how we got started, what we believe in, what we do, what we have achieved…and everything in between.
-
- Founded in 2005 by Kevin Boland during a sabbatical from Hong Kong corporate life to build his dream villa in Thailand – discovering a lost love of architecture – designing, materials, building and creating outdoor spaces.
- Struggling to find modern, durable outdoor furniture, he came across synthetic rattan and saw the potential immediately. OHMM’s beginning to build world-class synthetic rattan outdoor furniture started then and we have never looked back.
- OHMM’s philosophy is that great design gives pleasure and improves the quality of our lives. OHMM’s products are comfortable, durable and add to the aesthetics to transform every outdoor space into a tangible and distinctive experience for our clients or our clients’ guests.
- OHMM’s primary cornerstones of our business are simple. 1. Build world-class quality products. 2. Give clients a choice of finishing colours so they can personalise it their way. 3. Deliver world-class customer service. 4. Ensure our marketplace reputation is second to none.
- OHMM’s goal from the outset was to be the absolute quality reference for woven outdoor furniture. To achieve that meant setting up our own OHMM’s factory and doing everything we could in-house to control the quality – right down to the smallest detail. Also that meant building a quality mindset company wide and a culture of continuous improvement. Always looking at ways to improve what we make and how we make it.
- OHMM’s search for the world’s best master woven craftsmen began and found them on the island of Cebu, Philippines. A little known secret. With centuries of passed down ancient rattan weaving know-how, the skilled Cebuano craftsmen help set OHMM’s quality apart. Every piece of OHMM’s woven outdoor furniture is a work of art.
- OHMM’s materials are only the best-in-class – from our aluminium frames, powder coatings, fibre, fabrics, threads, zips, components and everything in between. It’s what we touch and feel. Important.
- OHMM’s manufacturing facility in Cebu, Philippines – is home to the world’s best woven craftsmen – and we are unique in the industry because we own and manage it ourselves. That means OHMM’s key strategic advantage is we can meticulously manage our quality and deliver world-class products for our clients. OHMM’s attention to detail is what sets our quality apart.
- OHMM’s designs are created in-house – by Creative Director Kevin Boland and OHMM Design Team. All OHMM’s designs are IP protected.
- Our in-house OHMM’s Design Studio gives us a distinctive advantage integrating client requirements and feedback into new product development and upgrades. Working closely with our product engineers, OHMM’s prototypes can be quickly realised. OHMM’s backward integration is unique in the industry.
- Then with the best-in-class materials coupled with the world’s best woven craftsmen, driven by the desire to make world-class outdoor furniture, we support that with a rigorous OHMM’s Quality Control system. Only when each piece has passed, and is ready to pack, a unique OHMM’s Quality Control serialised badge is attached.
- OHMM’s curated palette of finishing colours – from fibre, powder coatings, cushions and throw pillows fabrics – are all at no extra cost to give clients the choice to personalise their outdoor furniture. This is unique in the industry.
- OHMM’s care-free 5 years warranty on all our woven products is a clear statement that we stand behind the quality of our product build.

- Why Woven? When we started in the industry, woven synthetic rattan was the new outdoor furniture material. OHMM’s immediate recognition of the potential of woven synthetic rattan – high performance, design versatility, luxurious touch as well as the material being highly durable – allowed us to focus and invest in woven.
- High quality outdoor woven synthetic fibre is enduring above all other materials. OHMM’s key material is synthetic fibre from Rehau, the German polymer specialist. Developed and manufactured using renowned German engineering. Due to its superior characteristics, OHMM’s fibre is highly durable against the cold, heat, sun, humidity, rain and even snow.
- OHMM’s fabrics have been carefully chosen for both performance and luxury.
- OHMM’s fabrics are exceptionally durable and with extremely high colour fastness, ensuring that the fabrics do not fade or lose their original colour or vibrancy – as well as being highly stain, mould and mildew-resistant.
- Luxurious to the touch and breathable, OHMM’s fabrics allow air to pass through them, creating a comfortable touch and feel. OHMM’s versatile range of colours and textures gives you the freedom to create your own personal colour palette combination.
- OHMM’s fabrics are easily cleaned with mild soap and water making maintenance easy.
- All these qualities make OHMM’s fabrics perfect for the outdoors, bringing luxury and performance together under the open skies.
- OHMM’s cushions are designed for comfort and durability. Intensive research led to OHMM’s use of high-density foam cores only to ensure lasting performance. That means no sagging and lined with replaceable UV and water-resistant US manufactured spunbond material.
- For OHMM’s cushion outdoor covers, we use world-class quality acrylic fabrics, German polyester threads and customised branded robust zinc-coated pullers and acrylic zips for strength and durability. Covers can be removed for easy maintenance.
- Water-resistance or weatherproof, there is a difference. OHMM’s cushion options include weatherproof cushions. Using advanced textiles and coatings together with a proprietary construction techniques, OHMM’s DryPro+ weatherproof cushions allow you to leave cushions under the open skies, every day, all year round.
- OHMM’s use of virgin extruded 6000 series aluminium to construct industry superior structural frames for strength and durability with 1.65mm or 2.2mm gauge for powder-coated finished items, coupled with strongly welded joints to ensure maximum strength. OHMM’s frames are fully electrostatically powder-coated to avoid any oxidation and are highly scratch-resistant and durable.
- Outdoor furniture has to withstand some very rough treatment and OHMM’s quality of build is second to none coupled with weatherproof fibre and fabrics.
- OHMM’s outdoor furniture products are low maintenance and easy to clean which all adds up to giving you many years of carefree luxury performance.
- OHMM’s top tips for choosing outdoor furniture include plan to spend time to `touch and feel´ products to examine the quality. We do not recommend buying online if the products have not been ‘touched and seen’ before hand. The risk of buying unseen can be costly.
- Buying trendy designs that go out of fashion quickly or cheap products that we end up throwing away after a short period doesn’t make sense and can cost money for disposal. OHMM’s timeless designs and quality offer many years of enjoyment and good for Mother Earth too. Important.
