OHLA STUDIO

What OHLA STUDIO does

OHLA STUDIO is a privately held, handcrafted lighting and furniture design studio founded in 2017 and based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The studio produces two core product lines, handcrafted lighting (lamps and fixtures with CULUS-listed electrical components) and handcrafted furniture (collection pieces and custom orders for residential and hospitality settings), entirely on a made-to-order basis with standard lead times of 8-10 weeks. Production is artisanal, meaning each piece is finished by hand and small variations in materials, finishes, and dimensions are treated as inherent characteristics rather than defects. The studio offers Customer's Own Material (COM) and Customer's Own Leather (COL) capability and basic customization (material finishes and limited dimensions), subject to internal approval and additional lead time.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce website (ohlastudio.com) and ships worldwide from its single Mexico studio via UPS/DHL air freight insured express services. Pricing is in USD, full payment is required upfront to begin production, quotes are honored for 30 days, and a 3.3% processing fee applies to credit card transactions. A formal Trade/Reseller program offers a 20% discount to qualified buyers who submit a reseller's permit, targeting interior designers, hospitality buyers, and retail resellers. OHLA STUDIO is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external funding rounds, no disclosed parent company, no management team disclosed in public sources, and a headcount of approximately 5 employees.

The customer base is concentrated in luxury hospitality and high-end residential projects, with publicly named engagements including RH (Restoration Hardware) locations in England, Yountville, and San Francisco, boutique hospitality venue Sin Nombre, and multiple luxury residential villas (Casa Poliform, Villa Entre Suenos, Villa Palomitos, Tixcuytun). Customer segments are Luxury Hospitality Brands (vertical), Interior Designers and Trade Professionals (persona), and High-Net-Worth Individual Consumers (persona). The operating geographies served include the United States and Mexico, with global shipping available.
