‘1 OAK' stands for ‘One Of A Kind' modern furniture.

People’s biggest complaint when purchasing furniture is paying high prices for low quality. We are currently in an era where nothing is built to last. We aspire towards higher ideals and so our clients choose us. 1 Oak Modern specializes in the reinterpretation of Mid-Century Modern furniture due to their high quality make and ability to adapt to today’s modern sense of style.

All of our pieces are redesigned, repaired and recreated in house. Some people require vintage pieces in it's original state to preserve history. However, not every home is suitable for ‘original all-teak' type furniture. We cater to all styles with artistic measure. We believe that all things must evolve and transform or accept obsoletion. We choose to save these well-built items by allowing them to adapt to its new environment – your home.

New pieces are listed weekly as they are completed. The quickest way to discover what is newly available is through watching Instagram Stories! If you'd like to be one step ahead, contact us for our upcoming items. You're welcome to customize vintage pieces as well as 'made to order' items!

Even the high ticket, most popular furniture brands you know are using mdf and plasticized, imitation wood products.

1 OAK Modern is an eco-conscious small business. Maintaining environment is our greatest priority.

Over 95% of our furniture is made with natural materials (minus parts like drawer slides, handles, décor, etc.). We use both solid wood and the highest grade of Northern Baltic Birch plywood which is an eco-friendly, sustainable material with natural glues. We understand solid wood has a tendency towards warping so our choice of material is marine grade ply – water resistant, weather resistant and of the highest density (free of voids). For your decorative needs, we wrap it in hand chosen, real wood veneers from our local suppliers. We’ve carefully selected the best of the best product in the world to exceed ‘big box store' quality by miles.

We mainly use matte natural finishes such as Rubio Monocoat to treat our wood products, and durable, water-based alkyd paint – strong enough for concrete flooring, and crack/temperature resistant even for fabrics.

The time frame for delivery is generally 2-4 days for vintage items (Toronto GTA and Ontario region) and 4-6 weeks for 'made to order' items. Expedited orders may be possible upon request.

We will keep you updated throughout the process to ensure you know when to expect your unique creation.

While we do offer warranty for newly built items, we do not accept returns for vintages at this time. Our modernized, soon-to-be antique items are historical and are often seen as works of art. Due to their age of 40 years or more, most vintages are subject to minor imperfections which add to the beauty and richness of the piece. While we do our very best to bring each item back to its ‘like new’ state, perfection is up to interpretation. We ask that you remain mindful of its history.

If you’re in the Toronto/GTA area, we do accept repairs for vintage pieces. We also offer a 3 month warranty on newly built items that require minor repair. Examples are: a loose drawer slide, loose screws, wood leg repair, etc. We may be able to do house calls for minor treatments that take 30 mins or less.

We no longer make fundamental changes for free after purchases. Example: if your child was jumping on the bed and lands face first on the corner of a nightstand (yes, this has happened), we may be able to round out corner edges and repaint at your request with a charge.

All of our items are custom made for you, one by one, by hand. We appreciate your understanding.
