Orange Otter

Orange Otter Giving preloved furniture a fresh design twist. Colourful furniture, watches, art and homeware. Colour makes me happy. Anniken x

Based in Godalming, I have a small workshop where I bring new life to preloved or discarded furniture. Sometimes for myself, sometimes to sell and other times as commissions. I like each piece to be unique, have character and inject a bit of colour. Mixing modern and vintage, clean lines and shabby makes it more interesting. And the occasional injection of flat-pack practicality is perfectly OK too. Life is too short to be surrounded by things you don't love, but there's no need to throw things out. If it's still fit for purpose, let's add a little creativity and see what happens. Thanks for visiting my page and if you like what you see, follow my journey or get in touch. Now, I think it might be time for a cuppa and a slice of cake.

It's been a hot minute.

I took the September reset quite seriously this year.

After months contemplating my next steps,

I went BIG.

The last couple of years have not been easy.

It's hard out there for small businesses.

So, I'm taking a year out after I spotted an opportunity to return to work with my favourite colleagues at Innovation Norway.

It's a full circle moment and it doesn't feel like failure, it feels completely right. And is exactly what I need right now.

Orange Otter is still here, I still have some gorgeous pieces in stock and a few cinema seats ready for transformation, but I won't be taking on any new painting projects for now.

I still believe in everything Orange Otter stands for but it's not meeting my needs. I need a rethink.

So for now, I'm taking a break to get back on my feet and reset, and let's see what happens next year.

Thank you all for your LOVE and SUPPORT these last 10 years. There is more to come, just at a slower pace, at my pace. 💕

Summer vibes ☀️

It's been a glorious summer, hasn't it? I love the slightly slower pace of life the school holidays bring.

Also, we took a trip to Sicily, which was incredible. Have you been? I'm totally in love with that place and would love to go back one day. Maybe when it's slightly cooler though - 44 was HOT!!

There has also been furniture. I'll share soon. For now, I'm clinging onto the summer feels 💕

I will always love a close-up photo. The details on these bespoke cinema seats and the beautiful Grand Tiffany velvet by The Design Archives - Textiles & Wallpapers are well worth inspection.

Did you spot the wording under the seats? 😉 cute.

These are ready to light up their forever home, which could be yours ✨️ Find them for sale on my website (link in bio). Delivery can be arranged. Or if you'd like to see them in person, head to The Design Archives showroom on Lots Road, Chelsea.

I don't think they'll be hanging around for long.

Lots of love, A xx

I've been working on a super special pair of cinema seats lately, and they're about to hit the big time. If you're in the Lots Road, London area tomorrow morning, you'll be the first to see them. A fabulous collaboration with The Design Archives - Textiles & Wallpapers. We can't wait to see them in place. ✨️

It's not glamourous. It's not fancy.
It's hand made, human made craftsmanship.
And the results are real statement furniture with soul.

Needless to say, I'm not a fan of AI. It seems to represent the opposite of what I do and what I care about - people and our planet.

Conscious living, off-screen (she says while typing this) is where real life happens, and that's where I want to live. You coming?

I've heard it said that "human made will become the new luxury". I think we need to make sure it's not just a luxury, it's an essential part of what makes us us. Let's not lose touch with that.

Transforming your furniture is my privilege.

My whole reason for being is to reduce waste, make the most of what we already have, and transform your furniture into something beautiful that you'll love again.

Great quality furniture is often hiding under outdated brown stain, it just needs a little revamp.

If you have some furniture you'd love to revive, get in touch. I'm here to make it happen.

I'm based in Godalming, Surrey, so if you're local, it's super easy. And if you're not, I can arrange courier deliveries, so that's easy too 😊

Your home should be your safe space, where you feel comfortable to just be you. But it should also be a space that feels like you, makes you smile and brings you joy. Little pockets of excitement that make you feel alive and energised. It could just be one stand out item or a room full of riotous colour. It depends who you are.

Either way, our vintage cinema seats can bring just the right amount of sass to your space. These ones are giving off full-on Fiesta vibes, which is what I needed to see today.

This glorious fabric is by and I would LOVE to use it again so DM me if these speak to you.

Adding colour and personality to your home = JOY ☀️

Is it a stool? Is it a side table? Is it a plant stand? Whatever it is, the colour is popping!

The colour is a rich, vibrant blue called Ocean from Fusion's new Alchemy range. It's a chalk and lime paint, but I've sealed with a lacquer to keep the gorgeous rich colour sealed in.

Stool available on my website now.

Thank you for the sample pot 🫶

📣 Order now or forever hold your peace.

These super bright velvet colours are being discontinued, so if you've had your eye on these fab and funky cinema seats, please order now while I can still get hold of some of the last few meters remaining.

They were originally designed for the House of Upcycling area in Fabric at
2022. Then we took them to Design London in Greenwich along with some other bright and neon pieces. The Hidden 20% podcast hosted some famous bums on the bright green cinema seats they ordered from me. And plenty of you have them shining brightly in your homes. I am forever grateful for the joy they have brought.

But all good things come to an end, and it's time for the very last orders. DM, call or email me if you want in. ♥️💚
