Indigenous Interiors Catalogue

Indigenous Ltd is a British interiors company founded in 1998 by Joss Thomas, inspired by handmade terracotta tile craftsmanship encountered in Andalucia. Based in Burford, Oxfordshire, the company has grown into one of the UK's most respected suppliers of natural flooring, bespoke bathrooms, and handcrafted furniture. Indigenous individually sources every product it stocks, placing a strong emphasis on natural materials with distinct texture and form. Their Burford showroom features a series of room-set environments, giving customers a genuine sense of how materials and pieces work together in a living space.

Natural Flooring in Stone, Wood and More

The flooring range at Indigenous spans a wide variety of natural materials, each selected for character and quality. Options include limestone in several finishes – from the aged, honey-toned Century Limestone to brushed and tumbled varieties – alongside slate, marble, terracotta and engineered oak. The Classic Engineered Oak and Midas Flagstones collections are among the signature ranges. Cladding and mosaic tiles are also available, offering ways to bring natural texture to walls as well as floors. All stone and wood products are individually sourced, so no two installations are exactly alike.

Bathrooms and Bespoke Pieces

Indigenous carries a distinctive range of bathroom fittings made from natural and handworked materials. Freestanding stone baths, hand-finished basins, pedestal and vanity units in stone, metal and wood bring a sculptural quality to bathroom design. Rather than mass-produced sanitaryware, the focus is on genuinely individual pieces that become a focal point in the room. The company's approach to bathrooms follows the same ethos as its flooring: natural materials, artisan craftsmanship, and a preference for pieces with visible character.

Furniture, Lighting and Accessories

Beyond floors and bathrooms, Indigenous offers a curated selection of furniture and home accessories. The furniture range includes tables, chairs, benches, sofas and day beds, many crafted from reclaimed oak, petrified wood or other natural materials. Lighting options such as pendant lights and table lamps complement the naturalistic aesthetic. Accessories including tableware, vases, mirrors, candle holders and fire pits complete the range, allowing a consistent material language to run through an entire interior scheme.
