Ideas for creating your bespoke piece

Every commission begins somewhere.
Here are some ideas on where to start:

01

Empty space

An empty wall, awkward alcove or unused corner can become one of the most considered parts of your home.

Whether the space needs storage, display, seating or simply something beautiful made for it, Artifex can help shape the idea, arrange measurements, guide the design and match the project with the right British maker.

The result is a piece made specifically for your home, designed to fit properly, feel personal, and turn a difficult space into something worth noticing.

02

The prefect centerpiece

You know the place in your home where the right piece of furniture would change everything but nothing you’ve seen feels quite right.

That is where a commission can make all the difference. Artifex can help you create a one-of-a-kind piece designed around that exact spot, with the right proportions, materials, finish and maker.

03

Bring your idea to life

You may already have a picture in your mind, a saved image, a sketch, or simply a style you love.

Artifex can help turn that starting point into a real, properly designed piece of furniture. We’ll guide the proportions, materials, finish and practical details, then match the project with the right British maker to bring it to life.

04

Something special

Sometimes a piece of furniture is about more than filling a space. It might mark a new home, celebrate a special moment, complete a room, or simply give you something no one else will ever own.

Artifex can help create a one-of-a-kind piece with real character, meaning and presence designed around your home, your taste and the story behind it.

Made by the right British maker, it becomes something personal, lasting and completely unique to you.

05

A full set of designed furniture

A whole room, wall or area of your home can be designed around beautiful handmade furniture that fits the space properly.

From library shelving and home offices to dining rooms, living spaces and fitted storage, Artifex can help shape the whole idea, considering layout, materials, proportions and the right British maker for the project.

Investing in something unique

How much does a commission cost?

Every piece is different and the cost will depend on size, materials, complexity and the maker involved. As a rough guide:

Smaller pieces, from £500 – £1,500
Console tables, benches, small cabinets from £1,500 – £3,000
Dining tables, statement cabinets and larger pieces from £3,000+

We’ll always provide clear pricing before any work begins. There’s no obligation to proceed after your enquiry.
