When Casa Oma opened its doors in the national capital, it introduced a dedicated destination for collectible global home design. Located in the heart of Khan Market, the store brings together heritage design houses under one roof, positioning itself as a space for collectors rather than a conventional retail store.
The launch, held over a three-day opening last March, drew media, architects, and design patrons, signalling what the space aims to represent: craftsmanship, heritage, and international design culture. The store itself reflects this philosophy. Rather than a traditional showroom, Casa Oma is conceived as a curated environment where objects from different design traditions coexist. Picture Murano glass, Scandinavian crystal, European porcelain, bronze sculpture, and maritime collectibles—all under one roof.
Among the most evocative offerings are the glass masters of Murano. Founded in 1921, Venini is widely regarded as a cornerstone of Venetian glassmaking, celebrated for collaborations with leading designers and artists across the 20th and 21st centuries. Each work showcases Murano’s centuries-old techniques while taking contemporary sculptural forms. Alongside it, Carlo Moretti describes itself as a “factory of originals,” with every piece signed and numbered—reinforcing the idea of individual creations rooted in Venetian craftsmanship.
Glass artistry is only part of the story. Porcelain has long been a collector’s favourite. Founded in 1735 in Doccia near Florence, Ginori 1735 has spent nearly three centuries refining Italian porcelain, producing tableware and decorative objects distinguished by intricate hand-painted motifs and sculptural forms. From the Netherlands, the Delft-based Royal Delft continues a 17th-century tradition of fine hand-painted ceramics, celebrated for its iconic blue-and-white motifs. In France, the Limoges-based Raynaud has been producing fine porcelain since 1919, renowned for meticulously crafted dinner services and collaborations with artists and chefs. All three brands now find a home at Casa Oma, bringing a slice of European porcelain heritage to India.
Elsewhere in the store, glassmaking traditions take on a distinctly Scandinavian character through Kosta Boda. Founded in 1742 in Sweden’s Småland region, Kosta Boda remains one of Scandinavia’s most recognised glassmakers. Its artist-designed glass, created using traditional techniques, has built an international following for sculptural and functional objects alike.
Collectors drawn to bronze sculpture will find intrigue in the Spanish house Virtus Madrid. Its handcrafted objects are produced using traditional sand-casting techniques, allowing intricate detailing and distinctive forms that celebrate sculptural artistry.
For those fascinated by maritime heritage, the French atelier Sarl Kiade offers museum-quality model boats crafted with precision. Known for collaborations with prestigious shipyards such as Riva and Chris-Craft, the brand produces finely detailed replicas using noble materials, each certified for authenticity.
Casa Oma’s significance lies in bringing these legacy brands under one roof. By gathering such diverse ateliers together, it allows collectors to explore the world’s craft traditions without leaving the country. Here, purchasing décor becomes secondary to the experience of discovery— each object carries a story, and every corner of the store invites exploration. For collectors, it is precisely in these stories that the best collections often reside.
