About Oxide Hardware

We Started With a Light Switch We Couldn't Find.

Every detail matters when creating a beautiful space.

You can spend months selecting the perfect paint, lighting, fixtures, and finishes, only to find that an ordinary plastic light switch disrupts the entire design.

We believed something so small shouldn't have to be a compromise.

Traditional brass switches were often designed for European electrical systems, while many American alternatives relied on brass-colored plating rather than genuine solid brass.

We wanted something different: beautifully crafted, solid brass switches designed for standard American electrical boxes, combining timeless character with everyday functionality.

That vision became Oxide Hardware.

Hardware That Gets Better With Time

The name Oxide reflects one of the qualities we appreciate most about brass: its ability to develop character over time.

Unlike plated finishes, genuine unlacquered brass naturally oxidizes and develops a distinctive patina through everyday use.

Each touch, each passing year, adds to its story.

We believe great hardware shouldn't simply complement a space. It should become part of its character.

That's why we focus on authentic materials, thoughtful design, and enduring craftsmanship.
