The Processes

Ollia maintains our own offices in China and employs several full-time Quality Control (QC) agents in our factories to ensure that the quality of exported products are on par with international standards.


Furniture produced for every order undergo stringent testing and quality control by our QC agents. During the course of production, three Work-In-Progress reports are filed together with dozens of pictures taken of processed material, so as to check for defects. This is an example of some of the quality processes that we have infused into our work process.


Once the entire order is completed, our QC agents will perform a final inspection before the furniture is shipped out to the customer. In addition, recyclable packaging is used to pack our furniture to help reduce impact on the environment.



CARVING

Clamped in forms having the proper contour in which high-speed rotating knives will subsequently shape the wood into the required shape with both accuracy and consistency.


JOINTING

Edges are glued or joined through methods such as tenoning, dowelling and dovetailing to ensure seamless joints and a perfect fit.


SANDING

Exposed parts are carefully sanded on belt sanders, buffers, soft pneumatic drums and even by hand to ensure a quality smooth surface.

What are the materials that you provide?

Ollia is also capable of producing furniture in a wide variety of woods, such as Elm, Ash, Oak, Birch, Chinese Walnut and Tropical Hardwood.


We are also dedicated to develop sustainable eco-friendly furniture. To this end, we are proud to be able to produce Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified furniture to ensure that the wood source comes from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.

Can you tell me the difference between the varieties of wood source?
Oak

  • Very durable with hardy wear resistance
  • Stains and finishes well without requiring filling of pores for smoothness
  • Tannins in bark make it resistant to decay

Elm

  • Hard and stiff with excellent bending and shock resistance
  • Interlocked grain prevents splitting
  • Dries well with minimum degrade

Ash

  • Good dimensional stability
  • Strong, elastic with high shock resistance
  • Readily steam bent without losing strength

Birch

  • Versatile, fine textured timber
  • Natural waxes make its durable and waterproof
  • Stains very well

Chinese Walnut

  • Tough hardwood of medium density
  • Stains well to produce an exceptional finish
  • Good dimensional stability and readily polished

Rubberwood

  • Light colour enables easy finishing in any colour
  • Machines well and possesses good stability
  • Ecologically sustainable
Do you produce other furniture?

We are capable of producing a myriad of furniture that includes dining sets, sideboards, bookcases, bedroom sets, coffee tables, television cabinets and various small furniture. Although the majority of Ollia furniture is made with Oak, our designs can be manufactured in numerous types of wood.
