ABOUT OROMONO

After styling within the industry for a year, she moved to Amsterdam. Living in such a creative city surrounded by such inspirational design. Kirsty decided start her own label and set up her own textile design company.

Kirsty designs three-dimensionally with textiles to create sculptural forms. By manipulating fabrics with various techniques Kirsty created a range of individual collections that add their own unique style. Each textile design concept was then developed into accessories for the home and to wear.

The Oromono label was launched in 2004 at the Maison en Objet Fair in Paris, where it immediately sprung into the limelight by winning the award for the best newcomer in Textiles.

Then Oromono went on to win a bursary from the European Union to exhibit the Oromono Collection at the Interiors Lifestyle Show in Tokyo. Which in turn led to Kirsty being asked to come back to Japan later on that year to exhibit Oromono at Tokyo Designers Block.

In 2005, Oromono’s success continued with exhibitions in New York, Paris and Tokyo. During New York design week, Oromono was selected as one of the top 100 designs of the century by US magazine Metropolitan Home. Oromono then gained further design recognition for the use of sustainable and ecological fabrics when they launched their collection made from Paper.

Kirsty continues to create innovative fresh concepts for the Oromono collections and now sells her accessories to retailers, interior designers and department stores worldwide.

Kirsty has also been commissioned to design textile art installations for hotels, restaurants and private residences and has also had three solo textile art exhibitions in Amsterdam, Antwerp and Tokyo.
