8 Oak Lane

8 Oak Lane is Fred and Maureen Schmidt's Florida design house for tabletop, pajamas and gifts, named after the couple's own home address.

Based: Near Palm Beach, Florida
Since: 2016
Craft: In-house designed tabletop and textiles

8 Oak Lane is the design label of husband-and-wife team Fred and Maureen Schmidt, who came to it after careers in retail product design. Maureen's began at Limited Too. The brand name is their home address, chosen on the idea that inspiration begins close to home.

Based near Palm Beach, Florida, the company creates its collections in-house, exclusively for its own label, from tabletop accessories to gifts and entertaining pieces. Its early lines leaned on golds, soft pinks, stripes, polka dots and witty sayings.

At ModernTribe the draw is mahjong: a cotton Mahjong Stripe apron, a matching pajama set and a reversible green-and-pink tile mat, all designed in the USA.
