Walk into any home and look closely — no, not at the paint colours or how perfectly the cushions are arranged (although, those are fun too). Look at the chair pushed just slightly askew because that’s where someone always curls up with a book. The dining table with the faint ring of last night’s endless chai rounds. The swing on the balcony that’s not perfectly polished but is definitely perfectly loved.
That’s when a space starts to speak.
At onebytwo, we’ve always believed that furniture isn’t about filling up rooms. It’s about filling them with you. It’s about the centre table that plays host not just to coffee mugs but also intense game nights. Or the study table that somehow became the family’s unofficial charging station, homework corner, and work-from-home desk—depending on the hour of the day.
Over time, we’ve had the joy of creating pieces that quietly adapt to people, not the other way around. A bar unit for that friend who loves hosting. A swing for a balcony that craved just a little more "sit down, stay a while" energy. A trolley that became part of daily routines in ways we couldn’t have predicted—but the family using it sure did.
What we’ve learned is this: homes, cafes, offices—any space really—don’t need furniture that just fills up corners. They need furniture that fits into lives. That gets pulled up when extra guests arrive. That wears little scuffs proudly. That remembers laughter, lazy Sundays, and even the occasional dramatic debate.
Good design looks nice. Great design quietly becomes part of the background of your life. It knows when to stand out, and when to blend in. And when furniture does that, a space stops being a space and starts feeling... personal. Intuitive. Yours.
So when people ask us if our pieces are customizable, the answer is always yes—but not just in size or finish. They’re customizable in spirit. Because at the end of the day, your home should reflect you. Not us, not trends. Just you—your quirks, your rhythms, your every day.
And if along the way, we get to make a chair, a table or a swing that becomes part of that story? That’s what makes our work truly special.
