Melbourne
Made

We get it, there’s a lot of good furniture out there in the wild, but we think we offer something different.

From the timber we source to being Melbourne Made there’s a number of reasons to give us a go.

The
Makers

Originally from the UK and now with Melbourne as their roost, Ian and Kat have embarked on a journey to bring quality design and craftsmanship to the commercial furniture market.

Fuelled by a mutual love for design, they’ve taken flight to create a brand aligned with their own high standards and vision.

    15 Best Bar Stools

    “We’ve designed Plume to fit most situations,” says Oden co-founder Kat Noden. “We wanted to create a soft and comfortable yet supportive high stool that is both functional and hardwearing. The Plume stool gives a hug to the lower back: the seat has a pillow-like quality, while the back is cushioning and supportive.” This chair is made to order, so you can tailor both the fabric and the powder-coating of the metal frame. It’s also available in swivel and non-swivel options.

    Makers to Watch in 2025

    Oden was founded in 2023 by Ian Owen and Kat Noden, a Melbourne-based furniture brand dedicated to bringing quality and craftsmanship to the commercial furniture market. Collaborating with local manufacturers, Oden aims for shared values, such as high standards, playful designs, and a commitment to Australian-made quality. The brand respects sustainability by partnering with suppliers who share its values of quality, variety, and eco-conscious practices. Their products are designed using recyclable foam, responsibly sourced timber and where possible locally milled fabrics. 

    Looking ahead to 2025, Oden aspires to expand its range with a new dining chair as an extension of the Plume range and a two-seater Birdie, both launching early in the year. In the mid-year, the brand will debut a collection of upholstered stools designed to be beautiful and fun. Simultaneously, Oden seeks to provide firsthand product experiences by showcasing their range in some pop-up stores around Melbourne in the upcoming year.
