By celebrating the inherent beauty of timber in its purest form, Artisan applies only natural oils and finishes—allowing the wood to breathe and its organic colour variation to shine through.
As an FSC® COC-certified brand, ARTISAN complies with the rigorous standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council®, the global benchmark for sustainable forestry. This certification ensures that all forest-based materials used, including reclaimed timber, are FSC® certified and fully traceable throughout the entire manufacturing and distribution process.
Importantly, ARTISAN also meets FSC’s core labour requirements, supporting a fair, safe, and ethical working environment at every stage of production.
ARTISAN’s design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics; it infuses a deeper sense of purpose into the living experience. Their mission is to craft products of unparalleled quality, distinctive visual form, and exceptional functionality. ARTISAN creates furniture with longevity in mind, meant to enrich lives and become cherished heirlooms.
