About Us
Overt is a contemporary design studio creating considered objects that sit comfortably between art and function.
Each piece is guided by a belief in restraint, material honesty, and quiet confidence. We focus on form that feels deliberate, tactile finishes that invite touch, and designs that hold their presence without demanding attention.
Our work is made to live with you. Thoughtfully designed for modern spaces, crafted with longevity in mind, and created to feel just as relevant years from now as the day it arrives.
Overt is not about trends or excess. It is about clarity, balance, and making objects that earn their place.

meet the artist
Ash Allen is an Australian artist and designer working at the intersection of art, furniture and functional objects.
With a background rooted in making and material exploration, Ash’s practice is driven by curiosity and restraint. His work balances strong visual identity with practicality, creating pieces that feel both sculptural and usable.
Ash is interested in how objects shape the spaces we inhabit and the quiet relationship people form with the things they live alongside. Each design reflects a hands on approach, a respect for process, and a belief that good design should feel intuitive rather than overworked.
Through Overt, Ash brings together his artistic perspective and design discipline to create objects that are refined, approachable and made to last.
