Living Ikon — From Brief to Finished Product
Odm & Custom Design
YOUR MARKET. YOUR VISION. OUR EXPERTISE.
Not every buyer arrives with a finished design — and that’s exactly where our ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) capability comes in.
Living Ikon’s in-house CAD design team works alongside our factory network to take your brief — a mood board, a market gap, a reference product — and develop it into a production-ready design built around your customer, your price point, and your brand.
DESIGN WITH LIVING IKON
We support the full development arc, from initial concept through to finished sample and production sign-off. Whether you’re building an entirely new range or extending an existing collection, we give you the creative and technical horsepower to get there faster.
Our design team is on the ground in Vietnam, which means the gap between concept and prototype is short. We design with manufacturing in mind — so what looks right on screen is achievable on the factory floor, at the right cost.

CUSTOMISATION OPTIONS

ODM suits buyers who:
- Know what they want to achieve commercially but don’t have in-house design resources
- Want to differentiate their range with exclusive designs, not catalogue product
- Are developing market-specific collections for Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, North America, or other export markets
- Need a partner who can work iteratively and move quickly from concept to sample
STAYING AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Our design team runs continuous new product development — tracking international furniture trends, trade show collections, and retail movements to keep our partners ahead of the curve. If you want early access to new concepts as they emerge, ask us about our seasonal design previews.
