MEET THE MAKER
Vivienne founded The Oddative in 2021, a venture that emerged during a time of introspection and creative exploration. The quietude of lockdown inspired her to experiment with various artistic mediums, and it was Jesmonite that truly captured her imagination.
From a young age, Vivienne recognized the profound impact that her surroundings had on her mood, behavior, and overall well-being. This awareness fueled a passion for curating spaces that reflect and enhance her inner world. Whether through redecorating, collecting objects she loves, or simply reshaping a room's energy, she has always felt a deep connection to the spaces she inhabits.
Creativity with her hands has always been where Vivienne finds her truest self. It is from this blend of personal ethos and creative drive that The Oddative was born—a home decor brand dedicated to thoughtful, purposeful design.
AT THE CORE
THE ODDATIVE originates from two terms. ODD meaning different to what is unusual or unexpected and MODATIVE meaning an innovative way of doing things.
At THE ODDATIVE, an odd approach to innovation and design is at the heart of everything we do, see and feel.
THE ETHOS
Every piece crafted in our studio embodies our admiration for craftsmanship, artisanal production, eye for minimalism and a conscious way of living.
Our ethos is based upon the notion that less is always more, which is meticulously manifested in our ageless designs.
Hand-crafted locally in Sydney, our pieces are curated with an obsessive attention to detail in a slow and thoughtful process from Jesmonite. Every step in our production is considerate to the environment with every intention to reuse, recycle and restore.
MADE SLOW & THOUGHTFUL
THE PROCESS
Our collection is handcrafted from our Australia-based studio. We proudly work in small batches using Jesmonite, crafting each piece through a slow and thoughtful process. No two pieces created are identical, and is rare in its own form, texture and finish, being uniquely made for you and your space.
THE INTENTION
At THE ODDATIVE, we believe that part of a balanced life is rooted in your surroundings and the only way to move forward is to take a step back.
We embrace this philosophy by perennially focusing on cultivating calm and peaceful spaces within the walls of our home, fostering ambiance for restoring and recharging.
Our aspiration is that each piece will lend light to your space, become a part of your narrative and form a collection of what you love.
THE COMMITMENT
Sustainability is at the core of THE ODDATIVE's ethos. With a steadfast dedication to minimising our ecological footprint, we meticulously curate every action to adhere to environmentally practices.
From sourcing materials responsibly to implementing energy-efficient processes, our commitment resonates through the quality of our products and the positive impact we aim to cultivate on the world.
We firmly believe that sustainable choices today pave the way for a better tomorrow, and we are wholeheartedly committed to being a driving force in that transformative journey.
