About Oshkosh Designs
Our Company
Oshkosh Designs is a creator of premium home and commercial décor products made from high-quality hardwoods and other natural materials. We specialize in parquet floors, medallions, hardwood floor inlays, wood and stone borders, wood walls, and more. All of our materials are carefully chosen, responsibly sourced, and ecologically crafted, ensuring the highest quality product at the lowest environmental cost. Every Oshkosh Designs product is 100% customizable, offering our customers the freedom to adapt any design concept to their unique decorating needs. Our designers will work with customers to create one-of-a-kind custom stone and wood floors, parquet and borders – beautiful accents for any place you can imagine.
Oshkosh Designs has a commitment to our community as well as the industry. The result is an exceptionally dedicated team – most of our employees have been with the company for over 20 years. Throughout that time, we have maintained a safe, innovative, and enjoyable work environment. This allows our employees to remain focused on handcrafting quality products they are proud of.
Materials and Processes
At Oshkosh Designs, we utilize a variety of natural hardwoods, metals, stone, glass, and leather, allowing our artisans to create a limitless array of designs that span the breadth of classic and contemporary styles. See our list of inventoried materials. We incorporate traditional techniques with modern precision laser and waterjet technology for true artisan quality with quick turnaround times.
Our Environmental Commitment
Oshkosh Designs is committed to environmental stewardship. We are proud that our manufacturing plant is a 100% zero-waste facility. We utilize every scrap of material we bring in and even collect sawdust for use by local farmers in and around Winneconne, Wisconsin.
All of our lumber is purchased from FSC-certified suppliers. Our inlay wear-layers are 5/16″ thick, which allows us to conserve hardwood while providing more than enough workable surface if refinishing is required. We utilize a water-based pre-finish to minimize VOC emissions, both for the benefit of our customers and the environment, and all of our products are CARB compliant. Additionally, we use 85% post-consumer waste glass, and incorporate reclaimed materials whenever requested.

Our History
Oshkosh Designs began in 1991 as Historic Floors of Oshkosh. Working to restore a beautiful historic home near the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, the team was unable to locate a manufacturer who could recreate the home’s original exquisite parquet flooring and hardwood floor inlays. So they set out to craft it themselves. Word soon spread of the quality craftsmanship and, with that, our company was born.
Oshkosh Designs has undergone significant growth since its founding in 1991. What began as a niche company focused on the restoration of wood floors and wood floor inlays has expanded into an innovative design studio and manufacturing facility that crafts decorative installation art for historic and contemporary homes and businesses.
Through all of these changes, one thing hasn’t changed: our dedication to manufacturing premium-quality handcrafted products to order, while maintaining rigorous environmental standards, right here in the USA.
