About Oceanic
Handmade by
the Sea in Sussex.
Oceanic Woodstore was born from a love of natural materials, coastal living, and the belief that beautiful objects should be made to last. From our studio in Newhaven, we design and create handmade furniture, home accessories and art using reclaimed wood, sustainable timber and ocean-inspired resin. Every work is unique, crafted with care and built to become part of your story.
Sustainable materials
We use reclaimed and responsibly sourced wood wherever possible.
Inspired by the sea
The coast shapes our work, from colour and movement to texture.
Made with passion
Every work is handmade in our Sussex studio.
Built to last
Timeless design, quality materials and careful craftsmanship.
Our story
From a seaside idea to a Sussex workshop.
Oceanic began in 2023 with a simple idea: to create handcrafted works that bring a sense of the sea into everyday life.
The founder is Jim Callender, a 50 something dad living and working in Brighton, Sussex. When Jim is not working with wood, he loves trail running, and cycling around the beautiful South Downs and walking many of the wild Sussex beaches with his family.
What started as a small studio in Brighton has grown into a thriving workshop and creative space in Newhaven, where we now build furniture, host experiences, and collaborate on bespoke projects.
We’re proud to be part of the local community and love sharing our skills through workshops and events.
