Artichoke - Creating Britain'S Future Heritage

Our mission is to design spaces which look as if they were always meant to be there, and to make them to ensure they always will be. With each project we aim to add architectural value to our clients’ houses for future generations.

Creating Britain’s Future Heritage

Our vision is that in 100 years, English design and craftsmanship continues to flourish, creating interiors celebrated by future generations.

We aim to combine thoroughly considered bespoke design with exquisite craftsmanship to enhance our client’s experience of living in traditional houses. Each design, and the materials we suggest for it, are intensively scrutinized to ensure each one sits comfortably and elegantly into its architecture. We have a responsibility to get this right for our clients and we are unrelenting in the pursuit of quality.

During the design process, we often take inspiration from the great periods of English architecture, from Elizabethan to Edwardian. We take a particular interest in period house detail, materials and finishes because they are the ones we love and admire the most. As craftspeople, we make furniture with integrity using traditional methods, not because we are stuck in the past but because these methods have yet to be improved on. Naturally we embrace technologies which make us more efficient, but when it involves the integrity of our furniture, we do not believe in taking short cuts. Ever.
