Everything you need to know about Oriva Studio, our brands, and how we work with designers and architects in Singapore.

About Oriva Studio

What is Oriva Studio?+
Oriva Studio is a Singapore-based distributor of curated European and American design furniture brands. Founded in 2025, we represent six brands — Heller (USA), Mobliberica (Spain), Musola (Spain), Dressy (Spain), Creavalo (Spain), and Systemtronic (Spain) — serving interior designers, architects, and hospitality operators across Singapore. We handle specification support, sampling, trade pricing, and logistics for commercial and high-end residential projects.
Where is Oriva Studio located?+
Oriva Studio is based in Singapore. We operate digitally-first with a sample library available for studio visits. We bring material samples — ceramic finishes, fabric swatches, acoustic panel samples — directly to designers' studios across Singapore.
What makes Oriva Studio different from other furniture distributors in Singapore?+
Three things: First, every brand in our portfolio has a distinct role — there is no overlap between our indoor dining brand (Mobliberica), our outdoor brand (Musola), our acoustic art brand (Creavalo), and our design icon brand (Heller). Second, as official representatives of every brand we carry, we offer the most competitive trade pricing available — landed to Singapore or supply-only ex-works, with full cost breakdowns and no hidden charges. Third, we think in spaces and zones, not product categories — we help designers map the right brand mix across an entire project, from lobby to terrace.
Does Oriva Studio have a showroom in Singapore?+
We operate a sample library rather than a traditional showroom. We bring curated material samples — including ceramic finish swatches, fabric samples, frame colour chips, and acoustic panel samples — directly to your studio in Singapore. This allows you to see and touch materials in the context of your own workspace. Contact us via WhatsApp at +65 8952 9692 to arrange a sample viewing.

Brands & Products

What brands does Oriva Studio distribute in Singapore?+
We represent six brands: Heller (USA) — design icon furniture with pieces in MoMA's permanent collection, by Frank Gehry, Mario Bellini, and Massimo Vignelli; Mobliberica (Spain) — dining tables and chairs with 46 surface finishes; Musola (Spain) — Mediterranean outdoor furniture in marine-grade materials; Dressy (Spain) — premium indoor living furniture; Creavalo (Spain) — acoustic art panels handmade from recycled textiles; and Systemtronic (Spain) — planters, coat stands, and room dividers used by Google, Apple, and Amazon.
What is Creavalo?+
Creavalo is a Spanish manufacturer of handmade acoustic art panels made from recycled textiles and cork. Based in Valencia, they offer two collections: Manhattan — sculptural 3D geometric panels that create dramatic wall installations, and Lienzo — flat panels that accept any high-resolution image or pattern, creating acoustic murals unique to each project. Each panel achieves Class C acoustic absorption (αw 0.60, NRC 0.65) and is fire-rated B-s2,d0 per EN 13501-1:2018. Every square metre recovers 7.6kg of material that would otherwise go to landfill. In Singapore, Creavalo is exclusively distributed by Oriva Studio.
What is special about Mobliberica ceramic tables?+
Mobliberica manufactures dining tables, chairs, and benches in their factory in Crevillent, Alicante, Spain. Tables are available with ceramic, glass, and solid surface tops. The ceramic tops are made from natural clays and feldspars, fired at temperatures exceeding 1200°C — non-porous, rated Mohs 6 hardness (harder than steel), heat-resistant to 280°C, completely stain-proof, and bacteria-resistant. They offer 46 surface finishes, 32 frame colours, and over 280 fabric options for seating. Mobliberica has won the IF Design Award (2021), German Design Award (2019), and Good Design Award (2020).
Who distributes Heller furniture in Singapore?+
Oriva Studio is the Singapore distributor for Heller. Heller is an American design brand founded in 1971, known for iconic collaborations with Frank Gehry, Mario Bellini, Massimo Vignelli, and Philippe Starck. Several Heller pieces are in MoMA's permanent design collection. The brand's Worry Free Plastics technology creates biodegradable furniture that breaks down into nutrient-rich soil within 5 years in landfill conditions.
What outdoor furniture brands does Oriva Studio carry?+
Oriva Studio carries two brands suitable for outdoor use in Singapore's tropical climate: Musola — Spanish outdoor furniture made with stainless steel (304 alloy), aluminium (6063 alloy), and solution-dyed acrylic fabrics with antistain treatments, designed specifically for terraces, pool decks, and rooftop venues; and Heller — American design furniture in UV-stabilised, injection-moulded plastics that resist fading, cracking, and moisture, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Where can I buy acoustic panels in Singapore?+
Oriva Studio distributes Creavalo acoustic art panels in Singapore. Unlike traditional acoustic treatments (foam panels, perforated tiles), Creavalo panels are handmade in Valencia, Spain from recycled textiles and cork. They achieve NRC 0.65 acoustic absorption while functioning as genuine art — the Lienzo collection can reproduce any image or pattern, and the Manhattan collection creates sculptural 3D wall installations. Contact Oriva Studio at +65 8952 9692 for samples and specification support.
What is Systemtronic?+
Systemtronic is a Spanish manufacturer of auxiliary furniture and accessories — planters, coat stands, umbrella holders, room dividers, shelving systems, and bar carts. Founded in 1988 in Valencia, they focus on the finishing pieces that most furniture brands ignore. Their products have been specified by architects including Herzog & de Meuron, David Chipperfield, and Ricardo Bofill, and are used by companies including Google, Apple, Amazon, BBVA, Novartis, and Cartier across 30+ countries.

Ordering & Logistics

What are Oriva Studio's lead times for delivery to Singapore?+
Lead times vary depending on brand, product selection, and customisation level. Select Heller bestsellers may be available with shorter timelines. For urgent project deadlines, we can discuss air freight options. We provide detailed timeline estimates at the quotation stage — contact us for specifics.
How does Oriva Studio handle pricing?+
We quote in SGD with full cost breakdowns so you know exactly what you're paying for. We can quote landed to Singapore (product, shipping, duties, GST — one number, no surprises) or supply-only ex-works if you have a preferred freight forwarder. For larger contract projects, preferential rates apply. No hidden charges.
Is there a minimum order quantity?+
There is no minimum order for sampling. For production orders, minimums vary by brand and product — most items can be ordered in small quantities for residential projects. Volume pricing is available for contract orders. Contact us for specific pricing.
Can Oriva Studio handle large contract orders for hotels and restaurants?+
Yes — we regularly support FF&E procurement for hospitality projects. We can provide pro-forma invoices, comply with corporate purchasing processes, coordinate with project managers on phased delivery schedules, and handle logistics for multi-venue rollouts. Our brands are contract-grade with appropriate fire ratings, durability certifications, and warranty coverage.

Singapore-Specific

Is European furniture suitable for Singapore's tropical climate?+
Yes, with the right material selection. Musola's stainless steel and solution-dyed acrylic furniture is specifically engineered for outdoor use in tropical conditions. Heller's UV-stabilised plastics resist fading and cracking in Singapore's heat and humidity. Mobliberica's ceramic tops are non-porous and unaffected by humidity. For indoor use, all our brands perform well in air-conditioned Singapore environments. We advise on material suitability for each specific application.
Where can I find Spanish furniture in Singapore?+
Oriva Studio is the leading distributor of Spanish design furniture in Singapore, representing five Spanish brands: Mobliberica (ceramic dining tables), Musola (outdoor furniture), Dressy (premium indoor living), Creavalo (acoustic art panels), and Systemtronic (planters and accessories). We also carry Heller from the USA. Contact us at ismael@oriva.studio or +65 8952 9692.
What are the best alternatives to Italian furniture brands in Singapore?+
Spanish furniture brands offer a compelling alternative to Italian brands in Singapore — similar design quality and manufacturing heritage, often at better value. Spain has emerged as a major European design hub, with brands winning IF Design Awards, German Design Awards, and Compasso d'Oro. Oriva Studio represents six curated brands from Spain and the USA that offer contract-grade furniture with a distinctive Mediterranean design language. Key advantages over Italian equivalents include competitive pricing, strong sustainability stories, and unique offerings like Creavalo's acoustic art.
