The Brand

Amatoya is driven by a deep passion to articulate a unique story and formidable point of view. From Furniture design, Interior Design and Brand Direction, Amatoya builds a singular, synchronized experience built on alchemy of design.

The Oklahoma-based company has evolved into a multi-disciplinary global lifestyle brand that is leading the contemporary design conversation with experiential Residential, Hospitality, Healthcare, Commercial and Retail destinations and an expansive portfolio of artisan hand-crafted product designs inspired by the senses.

Amatoya has established a reputation for a nuanced designed furniture line that is compelling and invoking, as each piece is derived and inspired by some form or connection to Native American cultural elements.

Practical and effortlessly beautiful, the hallmark of Amatoya’s  furniture is that, whatever the setting, it feels as if it has always been there.

Furniture making is a calling, a vocation, a response to an inner voice. We personally select luxurious, responsibly-sourced materials from trusted suppliers; each labour-intensive piece is hand built at the bench by a skilled craftsman. From start to hand rubbed finish, each piece is traditionally made to the highest standard, ensouled by the hand of the maker.

Interiors

At Amatoya, we believe that design should be holistic and unifying, never constrained by boundaries or fragmented by disciplines. Our philosophy centers on creating environments where every element, both interior and exterior, harmonizes through a singular, cohesive design expression. By integrating architecture, interior design, and storytelling, we deliver experiences that captivate and inspire.

Our design process begins with a core idea, which evolves through a meticulous layering of elements—grounded in the unique context of each project. Through exploration, research, and an innovative approach to storytelling, we transform spaces into immersive environments that resonate on a deeper level. Each project is tailored to its client and setting, ensuring designs that are both highly functional and aesthetically refined.

With a focus on hospitality, gaming, commercial, and residential sectors, our work embodies passion, integrity, and craftsmanship. Every Amatoya design strikes a balance between beauty and practicality, resulting in spaces that are not only visually stunning but also effortlessly functional.

Services and Fabrication

Our firm’s commitment to producing well-considered design extends to the objects that inhabit the spaces we create. The process of making things, whether a building, a table or a door grip, reflects a deep-rooted understanding of the importance of personal interaction with design. As a team of accomplished artisans and designers, we work diligently with craftspeople, manufacturers and our clients, to realize original pieces that enrich the human experience and experiential environments.

Our fastidious attention to scale, proportion, fit, finish, and most importantly comfort, ensures every piece that leaves our workrooms is exactly what our customer requested.

We have experience with managing projects of all sizes, so that they are completed to order and on time. We provide individual attention to every customer, beginning with the initial consultation, continuing with visits while the pieces are being built, and ending with the custom tailored final product.

We design, engineer, build, and install practically any style of furniture, case good and millwork custom pieces to our clients specifications and requirements. Our staff and artisans are here to help your vision come to life.

Design Team

Furniture making is a calling, a vocation, a response to an inner voice. A convergence of two oceans, Amtoya’s team is an alliance of designers, Native American artisans and master craftsmen cohesively bringing together a variation of cultures and characters; thus a kind of alchemy occurs, engendering extraordinary pieces grounded in practicality, a dialogue between art, culture, history and design.

“We don’t fit in, but for us, that’s a strategy.” Theirs is an intensely personal new modernism, a distillation of what delights and moves them, informed by that which came before.

“When two bodies of water meet there is tension, a difference in salinity, temperature, density, currents, colour, sediment… eventually, they mix. It’s like that with what is historical in Native American culture to functionality in today’s world.
