Product description
Oxidart — oxidised metal, finished by hand.
Oxidart begins with a smooth microcement base over a timber core. Liquid iron, copper and bronze are then applied by hand and oxidised, drawing rich natural patinas out of the metal itself. The colour isn't pigment sitting on the surface — it is the metal reacting — so the depth and movement are real, and no two benches are ever alike.
Each seat is sanded, polished and sealed with a protective polyurethane lacquer, giving a hard-wearing surface with a lasting metallic sheen. Pair it with the matching Oxidart dining table, or use it on its own in a hallway or boot room.
Sizes and leg styles
Four lengths — 760mm, 910mm, 1830mm and 2400mm, all 400mm deep — with nine leg styles: Z Shape, Double Z, U Legs, H Shape, Tee Shape, Trapezoid, Wishbone, Cress and Farmhouse. Prices from £600.
If the size or leg style you need isn't listed, call or email us. Benches are made to your dimensions, so very little is off the table.
Made in Staffordshire
Every piece is made to order in our own workshop in Newcastle-under-Lyme, near Stoke-on-Trent, and finished by hand. The same liquid metal finishes are available on kitchen worktops, islands, bar tops, splashbacks and wall panels — see Design Works Bespoke.

FAQs
Can I see the finish before I order?
Yes. Order the free sample set, or visit our showroom at 2/3 Borough Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST5 1TJ, where the full finish range is on display. Colour on screen is only a guide, and hand-applied finishes shift with the light in a room, so we always recommend seeing a sample first.
Will mine look exactly like the photographs?
Each piece is finished by hand, so no two are identical. Expect natural movement in tone and texture. That variation is the character of the finish, not a fault.
Can I have a different size or colour?
Usually, yes. Microcement is pigmented to order and can be matched to your floor, walls or worktops. Tell us what you need using the enquiry button and we will come back with a price and lead time.
Is it suitable for wet areas?
Once sealed, microcement is fully waterproof and suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and other wet areas. Your piece is sealed in our workshop before it leaves us.
How do I look after it?
Wipe with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach, abrasive pads and harsh descalers, which can dull the seal. We include care instructions with every piece.
Can I return a bespoke piece?
Because every piece is made specifically for you, bespoke and made-to-order items cannot be returned or refunded once the order is confirmed. If anything arrives damaged, tell us within 48 hours and we will put it right.
