IT ALL STARTED WITH A handful of MIRRORS…

Meet Oscar Yague and Chris DeWitt, the owners and founders of Ardmore Home Design.
A native of Barcelona, Oscar received his degree in photography and movie production, as well as an MBA in economics. Oscar began his career at Anthropologie as a buyer where he honed his ability to create and source unique products. Chris holds a degree in economics, with a focus in marketing and entrepreneurship. Working over the years at companies with strong brand cultures, including Nike, Levi’s and Urban Outfitters, Chris shaped his understanding of customers and their relationship to both products and brands.
Partners in both business and life, they aspired to create a company of their own. Merging passions for marketing, stunning craftsmanship, and impeccable attention to detail, Oscar and Chris launched Made Goods in 2009. What began with a single mirror collection designed by Oscar evolved into a family of brands – Made Goods, Pigeon & Poodle, Blue Pheasant and Thucassi.
Both Chris and Oscar typically draw inspiration from a small detail or conversations with customers. Outside of work, they can be found traveling, entertaining, cooking, antiquing, and spending time with their family.
