Oakley selects Chilewichas as preferred design partner for London 2012

Since 1996, the “Oakley Safehouse” has provided a unique environment for athletes to escape and relax during the Olympic Games. This summer Oakley will once again create a Safehouse at the acclaimed Design Museum in London, where they will welcome over 600 athletes between July 27 and August 12. Chilewich has been selected as the exclusive flooring and tabletop partner for the design project.

Using their slogan “Beyond Reason” as the benchmark, Oakley has created a Safehouse that will exceed athletes’ expectations and bring together brands that exemplify their model for innovation. Encompassing two floors of the Design Museum, the Safehouse will feature a full-service restaurant on the first level and a lounge on the second level, incorporating multiple viewing areas, a coffee bar, refreshments bar, a custom eyewear area and an interview area for media.
