Ourse

FOUNDERS Ourse was born from a shared vision between CEO Jason Henderson and Creative Director Jake Oliveira, two design industry veterans who asked, "Why couldn't the next great design brand be Canadian designed and Canadian made?" Blending Jake's industrial design expertise, with Jason's rich insights into architects' and interior designers' unmet project needs, the two have built a partnership grounded in creativity, craft, and deep industry know-how. BRAND Ourse is a contemporary furniture company founded in Canada. With roots grounded by the nation's distinctive design perspectives, we are unified by a world-class presentation of modern design. Ourse pieces are boundary-pushing and reflective of the diverse people, thought, landscape, and natural materials that call the North home. CRAFT Ourse's pieces are realized mere kilometres from their design authors. Masterful hands that have perfected complex craft techniques typically reserved for custom commissions bring their know-how to attainable furnishings for your home, hospitality, or office space. We aim to revitalize Canada's capable but dormant domestic manufacturing and grow alongside our makers by acknowledging the lasting impact of iconic design to affect industry — fostering a bright future. Ourse pieces are hewn from naturally regenerative local hardwoods and finished to last with eco-friendly 0% VOC oils. Our metalwork is coated in durable, yet vibrant powder coatings suitable for the wear and tear of a life well lived. Our upholstered goods use world-renowned Kvadrat fabrics for a perfect blend of style and function, and they can also be covered in locally produced textiles. DESIGN AUTHORS / COLLABORATION Ourse is honoured to collaborate with top talents in the contemporary design scene. Our design partnerships have flourished into close friendships; where experimentation, curiosity, and humility capture lightning in a bottle.
