The Octavia Collection, named after Octavia Hill, one of the three founders of the charity, will help the National Trust care for historic houses and landscapes for everyone forever. From sales of this collection a minimum of £15,000 per year will be given to the National Trust to help look after nature, beauty and history.
The Octavia Collection takes its design inspiration from a detail from an 1872 pen and ink drawing of an herbaceous border by the 19th-century garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. The prominent flower pattern is replicated in the back, arm and seat of the chair as well as the tabletop in beautifully intricate detail. Designed specifically with a typical English garden in mind, furniture like it (originally made in cast iron) would have been found in large gardens for nearly 200 years.

Oxley’s make all their furniture from recycled aluminium. Pre-Used aluminium is melted down and re-cast into individual pieces which are then welded together to create the furniture. It is incredibly robust whilst light enough to move around easily. The Octavia Collection consists of five sizes of table, two types of chairs and an indulgently comfortable lounger.
