About Ruth Oliver
Ruth Oliver is a carefully curated collection of design pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries, offered with an appreciation for both history and everyday living.
The shop began as a way to give new life to showroom samples, vintage finds, and standout pieces that had been thoughtfully stored in our warehouse. Each item is chosen for its design quality, craftsmanship, and ability to live beautifully in a home — whether it’s a well-known design classic or a more unexpected discovery.
We believe great design should be lived with, not just admired. The pieces we offer are functional, enduring, and made to age well over time. Many carry subtle signs of use or history, which we see as part of their character rather than something to erase.
With roots in the design industry, Ruth Oliver reflects years of sourcing, specifying, and working closely with furniture and lighting makers. This experience allows us to offer pieces with confidence, transparency, and care — and to pass that value on to our customers.
This shop is for those who value thoughtful design, honest materials, and objects that feel personal. Whether you are furnishing a space, adding to an existing collection, or simply drawn to well-made things, Ruth Oliver offers pieces meant to be enjoyed for years to come.
