A Note From Us: The Two Behind Onebytwo

A Note From Us: The Two Behind Onebytwo

Ever sat down with a good cup of coffee and thought about how things come together? Like, really come together? That’s how we feel every time we think about onebytwo—this little idea we started that’s still growing and taking shape, bit by bit, every day. And since you’re here, we thought it’d be the perfect moment to share a slice of our story.

We’re two people with big dreams, a love for great design, and just enough stubbornness to make things happen. onebytwo was born from our shared obsession with creating pieces that feel both personal and practical. It started as a simple idea: what if furniture and decor could do more than just sit in a room? What if they could spark joy, solve problems, and tell a story all at once?

Now, if you think it’s all smooth sailing, let us stop you right there. Behind every product is a world of conversations (read: debates), prototypes that didn’t make the cut, and lessons we didn’t know we’d signed up for. Like that one time we thought we nailed the design of a chair only to realize it wobbled worse than a newborn giraffe. Or when we argued for hours over whether a shade of blue was more “sky” or “ocean” only to realize we’d been looking at completely different swatches the whole time!

But the truth is, those messy, unpredictable moments? They’re what make it all worth it. Because every “oops” eventually leads to an “aha!” And by the time a product reaches you, it’s carried the weight of all those little moments of trial, error, and triumph.

Our process is a little chaotic, a little unconventional, but always grounded in one thing: how our pieces fit into your life. We’re constantly inspired by the way you make these products your own—turning a vase into a centerpiece for your celebrations or a simple bookmark into something meaningful. You remind us why we started this in the first place.

To be honest, working together as partners is half the fun. Sure, we don’t always agree. One of us thinks sleek modern lines are everything, while the other swears by a vintage touch. But somehow, in the middle of all that, we find a balance. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and suddenly, there’s something we’re both proud of—something we hope you’ll love too.

Every time we launch a new collection, it feels like we’re sharing a part of ourselves with you. It’s a mix of excitement and nervousness—like showing up to a party with your homemade dessert and hoping everyone likes it. But when you welcome our pieces into your homes, style them in ways we never even imagined, and share your stories with us? That’s the real magic.

So here’s to you—for being part of this journey with us, for inspiring us to keep creating, and for making onebytwo more than just a brand. Whether you’re here for your next decor piece, a new chair for your favorite corner, or just to browse and dream, know that everything we do is for you.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your story.

Warmly and always inspired by you,
The two behind onebytwo
