Objects of Use (Oxford) oxford

Simply one of the most interesting and enjoyable stores I’ve ever been in. And endless variety of nostalgic quality items that are both practical and well-made. You will find a solution to your kitchen garden or garage problem and a gift for just about anybody!

An amazing selection of beautiful and useful things. Wonderful.

A very interesting shop, mostly selling Nordic and Japanese homeware. Every time you visit there is something interesting to see. Reindeer rugs, hand painted clocks, cast iron cookware, cedar boxes or scissors for cutting carbon fibre sheet. It's not cheap but everything has a feeling of being hand picked quality.

Fantastic Shop! If you want to buy a household hardware (wide range) item of highest quality and design principles - this is THE place; the best of the best from around the world -- perfect place to buy something to give pleasure in use/ownership/aesthetic/that sence of quality in manufacture/history/proportion/materials.. Struggling to find a gift for someone special? You'll only regret will be not to have visited sooner.

This is a fantastic little shop, you will find objects of use for the kitchen, bathroom, garden and more. This is premium end for sure but you may find yourself a bargan.

Quality items that will last a lifetime of use, carefully curated in a very aesthetically pleasing way. Love this shop

A great store where you can get top quality tools. I bought here a pan and truly recommend it!

Eclectic Oxford institiution, with wildly varying prices for thoughtfully chosen, well made random items of stock, ranging from moustache balsam to a handcrafted boat!

One of those shops where if you could, you would just buy everything. This is a super little shop off the beaten track in Oxford. It’s the kind of place where you’d go for that thingymabob that you can’t quite describe but know it exists. It’s all beautifully curated. Check it out for - garden equipment/hand tools, general household utility items, kitchen knives and much more!

I buy stuff from here all the time. It’s good to drop into just to browse if you happen to be in Oxford; but they are a good source of practical tools that are otherwise hard to come by.
