Brian and Rosie McGuigan designed and built furniture in Denmark in the 1970’s. Upon returning to Ireland in 1979 Orior was born.
Together they built the business on commitment, hard work, trust and loyalty. The inspiration of Scandinavian design mixed with their Irish heritage proved instrumental in helping them fulfill their vision of the family company. Today their son Ciaran McGuigan, is the Creative Director at Orior, and he continues to grow and expand on the very foundations his parents built.
Skilled, precise and personable
Crafting and building one piece at a time, with the utmost attention to detail. Customizing materials and sizing to meet your needs.
Irish ingenuity gives our furniture character and a unique sensibility
Our workshop in Ireland is where our furniture makers bring designs to life. Here, Orior infuses traditional Irish furniture making principles with new passion and ideas.
Orior carefully selects its materials, working with the finest purveyors of fabrics, hides and marble
While construction is done in our workshop in Ireland, we source from select fabric mills and tanneries across Europe. Upholstery fabrics from Loro Piana, Pierre Frey, Maharam, Schumacher and Kvadrat are used. As well as hides from small family owned French and Italian tanneries. One of our most notable materials is Connemara marble, also known as Irish Green marble. It is one of the oldest stones in the world, and is sourced from its namesake in Connemara, Ireland.
Interactions between design and craft lifts our products to the next level.
We are designers and builders, thinkers and makers, artists and artisans. Turning ideas into furniture. Orior artisans have a decisive eye when it comes to design, and work in close collaboration with our designers.
