Timothy Oulton, the renowned functional art and masterpieces designer firm with 42 galleries across the globe has now made entry into the Nigerian market.

Speaking at the unveiling of their gallery in Lagos,  the Managing Director and Global Head of Training and Development, Timothy Oulton, Jude Leach, said they believed in the Nigerian market after waiting for a long time to get the rightful partners.

She explained that every piece in the Timothy Oulton-a british luxury furniture designer collection is designed and made in a workshop in China and distributed globally.

Leach stressed that they scout the globe for the most beautiful materials, while, “using time-honoured techniques and simple tools, by hand. It takes longer, but it’s the only way to achieve true authenticity.”

Commenting on why they are entering the Nigerian market, she noted that they are present in all gateway cities in the world. 

“So we see Lagos as a very important gateway city. Africa has always been on our list,  we just needed to find the right partner, always. And it’s partner-driven, we wait for the right retailers who we know can sell and can promote a luxury product well and give great customer care.

“So whilst we are a British brand, we are culturally exploring the whole world right now because our stores are all over the place. That’s important to us, that we do not just stay in one region, that we explore and we learn how to integrate our products in all regions of the world,” Leach said.
