A legacy of craftsmanship.
Onovo is the coming together of two family-founded businesses:
Born from the merger of two respected family-run businesses—DDC Fitout & Design, led by brothers Ashley and Kris Gardiner, and SM Woodwork, founded by Stuart Malcolm—Onovo is the coming together of generations of knowledge, craftsmanship, and care.
Our story begins with the Gardiner family, whose journey in Shop fitting started in 1971, when David and Mary Gardiner first opened their workshop doors. That legacy of commitment to excellence was proudly passed down to their sons and is now deeply embedded in everything we do at Onovo.
Stuart Malcolm brought with him a rich heritage of his own, rooted in engineering expertise, workshop innovation, and a deep understanding of how things are made and how they last. Together, this partnership formed a powerful foundation: a company built on respect for the craft, and a shared belief: that spaces should be more than functional, they should inspire.
Today, Onovo combines over 70 years of collective experience, creating high-end interiors for commercial, hospitality, retail, and residential clients across Ireland.
From flagship retail spaces to one-of-a-kind family kitchens, our work is shaped by collaboration, driven by integrity, and delivered with precision. Every detail matters—because behind every project is a story, a team, and bringing a vision to life.

This is the unique Onovo difference and it shows in everything we do.
Mutual Respect
Relationships that last.
At Onovo, respect is the foundation of every relationship. We listen, collaborate, and treat others as we would expect to be treated.
By fostering a culture of collaboration, openness, and integrity. It’s this approach that allows us to build enduring partnerships—ones that go beyond a single project and grow stronger over time.
Sustainability
Crafting with care—for our clients, our people, and our planet.
At Onovo, we believe that true craftsmanship goes beyond the finished product. It’s about how we source, how we build, and how we care—for each other and the world we live in.
We are proud to be a responsible, sustainable, and ethical business, committed to reducing our environmental footprint at every stage of the journey.
Our Approach
Sustainable Sourcing
We prioritise responsibly sourced, FSC®-certified timber and low-VOC materials across all projects. We work with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality and environmental responsibility.
Waste Reduction & Recycling
Our in-house workshop operates with a lean, waste-conscious mindset. Off-cuts are repurposed where possible, and all recyclable materials—timber, metal, cardboard, plastics—are separated and processed responsibly.
Efficient Manufacturing
We continuously invest in technology and practices that reduce energy use and material waste—ensuring smart, sustainable production without compromising on precision.
People & Planet First
Sustainability, to us, also means creating healthy, lasting environments—for the people who work with us and the people who live in the spaces we create. We’re mindful of indoor air quality, long-term durability, and timeless design that resists throwaway trends.
Our Promise
At Onovo, sustainability isn’t a checkbox—it’s a commitment.
To do better. To build smarter. And to leave every space, and every project, a little better than we found it.
Built to last. Designed with purpose. Delivered with care
