Oxley's
Oxley's have been producing fine quality cast and fabricated aluminium furniture from their Cotswold factory since 1991. Their components come from foundries where only the highest grade aluminium alloys are used in the process of manufacture. Oxley's specialises in final construction and finishing, thereby being able to guarantee their exceptional quality. Aluminium is the perfect material for all-weather furniture.

Metal garden furniture has been used in the English garden since the industrial revolution in the 18th century. Tables and chairs were initially cast in iron, but during the 1960s the increasing availability of aluminium meant that using this much more expensive material became viable. When aluminium is properly treated it does not rust, it is far lighter than iron so chairs and tables can be easily moved but most importantly it requires no maintenance to keep it looking good.

Maison Gatti
Established in 1920, Maison Gatti is the leading manufacturer of original french outdoor, and indoor, bistro furniture for cafes, bars, restaurants, and brasseries around the world. Their premium craftsmanship and expertise in the use of rattan have been handed down for three generations. They remain faithful to the tradition of quality, assembly and finishing that have earned them their reputation as the industry front runner. Their chairs, armchairs, benches, stools and tables are all entirely handcrafted using techniques that guarantee both beauty and durability. They provide professionals and individual consumers with the quality associated with artistic savoir-faire, offering a unique selection as well as custom design.
