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 Designed specifically with a typical English garden in mind, furniture like it (originally made in cast iron) would have been found in large gardens for nearly 200 years.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.
“The National Trust cares for more than 500 historic houses and gardens, which vary in age considerably, but they were all built with permanence in mind. Taking care of these places for future generations is no easy feat, but it’s collaborations such as The Octavia Collection that help make it possible”
National Trust
“I am so pleased that we will be contributing to the upkeep of National Trust historic houses and gardens originally created when building for the long term was the norm. Thirty-four years ago, it was a 120-year-old Victorian bench at a National Trust place that inspired me to start Oxley’s Furniture. We have always built outdoor furniture designed to be timeless and to last out its original owners. As a lover of the outdoors, who lives within walking distance of my favourite garden Hidcote in Gloucestershire, and has enjoyed many other National Trust places over the years, it’s an enormous privilege for our business to help protect nature and heritage for future generations”
Simon Hudson, Founder & CEO of Oxley’s
