What Artorius Faber does

Artorius Faber is a family-owned British stone surfaces company headquartered in Yeovil, Somerset, that designs, fabricates, and installs bespoke natural stone flooring, paving, and architectural stonework. The company operates its own quarry supplying British limestone, and its core technology combines traditional stonesmith craftsmanship with modern 3D scanning for tailor-made layout designs. Its product portfolio spans English limestones, British sandstones, slates, marbles, flagstones, and reclaimed stone, delivered in formats including bespoke flooring, cobbles, pitchers, tuckers, setts, steps, staircases, thresholds, skirtings, mouldings, and copings. A complementary aftercare product (Stone Wash, a 1-litre liquid soap at £18.50) is the only item sold via e-commerce, with all stone products priced and delivered on a project basis after consultation.

The company serves two primary segments: high-end residential clients (country estates, manor houses, Georgian and Grade II listed properties, coastal new builds, and London townhouses) and commercial/institutional clients (hotels, private members clubs, churches, heritage buildings, luxury retail, and hospitality venues). Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct engagement through a by-appointment showroom in Somerset, CPD presentations to architects and interior designers, and brand-building via editorial features and annual participation in Wow!house at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. Pricing is project-based, with indicative interior flooring rates of £150–£300 per m² and exterior paving at £120–£250 per m², varying by stone type, format, finish, and complexity. The business is privately held, family-controlled, and operates without disclosed external investors, focusing on the premium end of the British heritage property and luxury design market.
