Artifacts International

What Artifacts International does

Artifacts International is a privately held custom furniture manufacturer headquartered in Chula Vista, California, that designs and produces handcrafted furnishings for the interior design trade. The company's core technology is artisanal craftsmanship combining sustainable hardwoods (Alder and White Oak), exotic stones, and hand-forged iron into a broad product portfolio spanning beds, case goods, dining tables, cocktail and occasional tables, seating, lighting, fireplace surrounds, accessories, and a dedicated outdoor collection. A key technical differentiator is the proprietary finish library — over 70 finish options across four material categories — and a unique floating top construction method that allows wood to expand and contract without cracking. The business operates on a wholesale-only model, selling Designer Net to registered trade customers (interior designers, architects, contract/hospitality specifiers, purchasing firms) through a nationwide network of 14 independent trade showrooms across 12 states, complemented by independent sales representatives and a password-protected online pricing portal. Consumers not working with a designer are referred to a third-party partner (LA Design Concepts). Pricing is structured into standard and premium finish tiers with custom quotes available for non-standard specifications, and there is no public suggested retail price list. The company has operated for over a quarter century with national press features in Traditional Home, Veranda, Design NJ, and other design publications, but discloses no revenue, funding history, or ownership structure.
