Having had the opportunity to live and travel abroad extensively, Christy Teasdale and Joanne Oliver, the founders of OliveTea Design Collection Inc., possess a passion and appreciation for the wondrous diversity of design found the world over. Along with their dedicated buyer, Anne Lockett, who is based in Asia and brings a decade of experience sourcing and buying in the region, they have made it their mandate to seek out the interesting, inspiring and unique from other countries and bring it home to North America. Their intent…to be the place where a person’s desire to discover that one special piece, or collection of pieces, will always be realized.
“That unique piece that can simultaneously offer serenity, depth and interest in a room, is what we strive to find with each buying trip.”
Christy Teasdale, Director and Buyer
“Living in Asia afforded me the opportunity to really integrate into another culture, and opened my eyes to the depth and breadth of unique Asian design. Integrating an eastern aesthetic into my western environment created a balance and harmony that became home.”
Joanne Oliver, Director and Buyer
