Oikos Golden Lock Award

In December 2017 we were delighted and humbled to win the Oikos Golden Lock Award which is Oikos’ ‘best client of the year award’ and was awarded for our commitment, attitude and results achieved.

It is the first time a customer from outside of Italy has won the award and James Darnell travelled to Oikos doors in Italy to collect it.

Some of our orders that have contributed to us achieving the award are our Sevendials project which will feature in the new Oikos No Limits book and our black marble door at Honeywood.
