Design Perspectives - Interview with Davina Ogilvie of Wovn Home - 27 min
In today’s episode, host Gail M Davis chats with Davina Ogilvie, the founder of Wovn Home, a direct-to-consumer custom window treatments company based in New York.
After growing up in Bangkok, Thailand surrounded by beautiful custom window treatments, Davina was surprised to find a lack of options to choose from when she was decorating her own Manhattan apartment. When she turned to local upholstery shops, she found they were incredibly expensive and also required months-long lead times. On the other hand, big box retailers only offered standard sizes that were often poor quality. Rather than choosing either of these less-than-desirable options, she decided to use her previous experience from working in the New York fashion industry to create her own custom window treatments.
From this experience, she created and launched Wovn Home in September 2019, offering designer-quality custom window treatments at an accessible price point.
