Artichoke, the luxury designer and furniture maker for the world’s finest homes, has expanded their expertise to interior design. With their discerning clients looking for a complete signature aesthetic across every room of the house, the offering is a natural evolution for the British brand. Complementing Artichoke’s entirely bespoke design and make of the interior elements, the team also works on standalone interior design projects for whole homes.
Over the last thirty years, Artichoke has established itself as one of the great making brands as well as a leader in holistic design, interior architecture, conservation and fine joinery for both historic and more contemporary homes. Founder Bruce Hodgson is joined by a significant interior design division, now making up a team of more than fifty expert cabinetmakers, finishers, engineers, architects and creatives. Through uncompromising quality and attention to detail, the Somerset based design studio and workshops have built a stunning reputation with an enviable portfolio of multi-million-pound, global projects spanning the UK, Europe and the US.
Not only is Artichoke’s aesthetic one of elegance, but it is also to create rooms that feel as if they have always been there. Interior design is symbiotic with the furniture design and make, ensuring that rooms are seamlessly curated between furniture and decorative finishes. Drawing on a black book of the best craftspeople, like-minded makers and lovers of antiquities – schemes are visually stunning and of the highest quality. Design thinking is tailored towards each client’s way of living and their philosophies to create homes that are unique, timeless and yet practical. Visionary creativity, storytelling through design and a nuanced knowledge of architectural history are all defining aspects in crafting original and strong narratives. Alice Chilman, Lead Interior Designer comments:
“At the heart of our design approach is the commitment to creating soulful spaces with character and warmth – environments that skilfully intertwine colour, texture and craftsmanship to mirror the individual essence of each project. I take great pleasure in understanding our clients’ lifestyles and aspirations to design spaces that resonate with their individuality and that will stand the test of time.”
Favouring endurance over trends, a room should not only look beautiful, but it should also be comfortable as well as practical – and importantly it must last. An Artichoke room is designed and made for longevity, acting as a key principle of sustainability – standing as a testament to time for future custodians to enjoy.
Significant heritage homes are often complex and expert knowledge is required for projects that can run over several years. Along with exceptional service and quality, this dictates Artichoke’s decision to look after just a handful of select clients simultaneously.
