Miguel Torroba

Job Titles:
  • Co - Owner
Miguel is co-owner of Alluvium of Design and our Primary furniture Designer. With more than 25 years experience, he has designed signature pieces for some of our country's most prestigious clients. We refer to him as "our talent". As a third generation furniture designer, he has carried with him a family tradition of exquisite taste and flair. Each of his designs are creative and unique but with the client's primary function in mind. Although his first love is contemporary design, his talent spans all boundaries to design traditional, transitional, asian and eclectic furniture. Miguel likes to keep his designs most personal, therefore, his renderings and plans are all drawn by hand. Some clients even frame them as art after the project is completed! As a well respected designer in South Florida since the early 80"s, he and his partner, Charles Hubbard (see below) formed Alluvium of Design in 1995 and incorporated in Dania, Florida 1997. Since then, Miguel has created incredible designs that have won him an unprecedented four prestigious Design Awards.

Omar Dallas

Job Titles:
  • Foreman - Finishing Department
Omar is our soft-spoken gentleman from the Caribbean. Alluvium has had the pleasure of his talent for nearly eight years. If we gave him a soggy piece of bread, he could match not only the color, but textural intent and translate it to an incredible hand rubbed wood finish. One client came in with her favorite D & G leather Handbag for Omar to match a vanity cabinet. Need I say that it was beyond perfection? His staff is eager to please and proficient - guaranteeing a true tour de force every time.
