Proudly from here!
The Oramood factory is located in the Lanaudière region. An exceptional woodworker and entrepreneur, who quickly believed in the project, joined us on this journey. The production of fireplaces couldn’t be in better hands.
The steel chimneys we use are made in the Maritimes and painted locally by an automotive artisan. The logs and structural pillars are crafted from maple, sourced from a Quebec sawmill and then processed on-site. The panels are made entirely from birch plywood. Each of our products is meticulously designed to last, thanks to their timeless design and the exceptional quality of materials and assembly techniques.
Mission.
Connecting with nature, oneself, and others is at the heart of Oramood’s mission. There’s so much to discover by playing in the forest and by connecting with oneself and others through simple, unscripted actions—uninfluenced by screens or trends—gestures that can’t be bought.
We believe it’s possible to live in tune with one’s aspirations in each present moment, and that by letting go of the external, the external comes to us in the most beautiful way.
The Ora project is the unexpected outcome of this philosophy, transforming a wonderful story into a company with the ambitious mission to enhance the well-being of parents and children through an authentic approach.
The Story.
Behind Oramood’s journey is the story of a little 4-year-old boy who, following his parents’ separation and a move, asked his dad if they would have a fireplace in their new condo surrounded by forest. The child had memories of being near a fireplace at the cottage and connected his new home, surrounded by nature, with the warmth of a fireplace.
In this request, the father saw an opportunity to create a calming room for his children by adding a small fireplace he envisioned and crafted with his own hands.
That father is Mathieu, the founder of Ora.
Company.
In December 2022, Bien-être Ora Inc. was born from the partnership of Mathieu Cloutier and Janie Provencher, two creative minds passionate about well-being and returning to the basics. Their ambition was sparked by the charm of a miniature fireplace that Mathieu had crafted for his children, inspiring the design of a commercial version.
Mathieu brings to the company a strong background in business and brand development, along with a passion for innovation. Janie, an industrial designer, shares Mathieu’s deep desire to create a company with well-being and simplicity embedded in its DNA. Her entrepreneurial spirit, dynamic energy, and experience in designing wooden toys for children promise a fruitful collaboration.
The Ora fireplace, the first product in the Oramood range, was designed with a focus on wood, fire, acoustics, design, and technology. These elements are at the heart of Bien-être Ora Inc.’s DNA, which advocates a return to essentials, well-being, and timelessness. The company values authentic experiences and uses sustainable materials to ensure the quality and longevity of its products.
