About Us
Alex Muradian
Founder and Lead Designer
Alex discovered his passion for woodworking and furniture while captaining the croquet team at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. The team’s tradition of using beautiful, handcrafted, wooden mallets sparked his desire to create his own. This enthusiasm eventually led him to attend the renowned Williams & Cleal furniture school in England, where he honed his skills and developed his unique design aesthetic.
On returning to America, he established his own studio in Westhampton Beach, New York, specializing in custom-designed furniture and products. Alex’s designs are inspired by the natural beauty of his surroundings — from the picturesque landscapes of England’s West Country to the Hamptons’ dunes to the jungles of Costa Rica to the cityscapes of New York, London, and Paris.
About Us
In a world where stress is on the rise and life moves at an increasingly rapid pace, there’s a growing need to unplug and prioritize mindfulness. At Oyster Wellness, we recognized a significant gap in the quality of meditation products available today, with many causing discomfort and discouraging potential practitioners. We also observed that dedicated wellness spaces lacked cohesion and support for users to fully benefit from mindful exercise. This realization inspired us to take action.
Drawing from our extensive experience in custom furniture and product design, we founded Oyster Wellness to address these challenges. Our mission is to bring a fresh perspective to the industry by providing top-notch meditation products, wellness design services, and programming. We’re dedicated to democratizing meditation, making it accessible and beneficial for everyone, regardless of their experience level. Join us on this journey to prioritize well-being and mindfulness in your life.
