What Artedomus does
Artedomus is an Australian privately held distributor and retailer of premium architectural surfaces, founded in 1985 by Angelo Schepis (originally as Domus Ceramics, later rebranded) and headquartered in Rosebery, Sydney. The company curates and distributes natural stone slabs, porcelain panels, ceramic tiles, designer bathware, and furniture sourced from leading Italian and Japanese manufacturers including Fiandre, Maximum, Mutina, Decoratori Bassanesi, INAX, and Agape, alongside its own Australian furniture line New Volumes and editorial publication SURFACE Edition.
The business operates a specification-led, showroom-anchored go-to-market model through seven showrooms across Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Byron Bay, Tasmania) supported by a national warehouse network and a digital inventory system for browsing individual stone blocks. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of premium materials and ancillary design consultancy services to architects, interior designers, homeowners, and commercial/hospitality projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with products sold per slab, per sheet, or per unit depending on category.
Artedomus differentiates through exclusive long-tenured manufacturer partnerships (several spanning 20+ years), category creation in the Australian market for Japanese ceramics and designer bathware, and content-driven design community engagement via SURFACE Edition journal and The (Emerging) Designer Awards presented with The Local Project. The company is not a manufacturer or technology developer; it curates and distributes third-party brands with deep technical and material expertise, leveraging brand provenance, exclusive supply arrangements, and a national physical showroom footprint as primary competitive advantages.

- Stone Italiana (now Stone Systems / Euro Marble): Stone Italiana is an Italian engineered stone and quartz surface manufacturer with distribution in Australia. It represents the supplier-side counterpart competing for share of the same Australian specification projects, but does not directly retail to the design community.
Direct peers
- Signorino: Signorino is a Melbourne-based Australian retailer of premium tiles, natural stone, and bathware with showrooms across the eastern states.

It is comparable as part of the supplier ecosystem Artedomus navigates, and competes indirectly for the same specification projects via its own Australian distributors.
