Our Products

At OakBeamUK, we craft bespoke benches, plinths, and bases designed to complement both the artwork and the architectural setting. Designer finished oak sections used as plain seating in retail spaces. Each bench can be tailored in size, finish, and detailing — from slimline or plank-top designs to floating or wall-mounted styles — with options such as integrated storage or upholstered tops to balance practicality and aesthetic harmony.

Our oak plinths and bases are precision-built to elevate and support sculptures, installations, or display pieces with quiet confidence. Whether a solid cube, column pedestal, or modular display block, each piece is engineered for stability and crafted with subtle detailing such as hidden joinery, recessed plates, or internal reinforcement. Every product embodies our commitment to timeless craftsmanship — simple, durable, and beautifully made to enhance the art and space it serves.
