FAQs
FAQs, Details Before The Decision
1. Can this piece be customized?
Yes. Most 1-OPH pieces can be customized by size, material, finish, color tone, texture, and placement requirement. Share your space details, reference images, or design direction, and we will guide you on what is possible. Pieces are planned within up to 60 days for production and global shipping, depending on the product and level of customization, delivery location, and any installation requirements.
2. How do I know if this piece is suitable for my space?
We recommend choosing based on scale, viewing distance, surrounding architecture, indoor or outdoor placement, and the overall mood of the space. If you are unsure, send us photos or dimensions of the area and we will guide you.
3. What materials are available?
Depending on the product category, 1-OPH works with Marble, Bronze, Stainless Steel, and selected category-specific materials. Not every material is suitable for every category, so we will guide you based on the product, location, and intended use.

Installation is quoted separately. Some pieces may only require delivery and placement, while larger or heavier items may need professional handling, fixing, lifting equipment, or coordination with your contractor.
