ANKA METAL COATINGS LIMITED

What ANKA METAL COATINGS LIMITED does

Anka Bespoke (legal entity ANKA METAL COATINGS LIMITED) is a UK-based, family-owned luxury craftsmanship company founded in 2008 by Anthony Clarke and now led by Clarke together with his twin sons Harry Clarke and Toby Clarke as Directors. The company produces specialist finishes—most notably liquid metal finishes, in which it claims to be one of the first producers globally—alongside poured resin and hand-carved timber/marquetry, applied to bespoke furniture, sculptures, artworks, and architectural elements. All production is handcrafted in the Corsham, Wiltshire workshop, with showrooms in London (opened 2020) and New York (operated in partnership with Element 7 at the NYC Design Centre). Core product categories include Liquid Metal, Resin, Timber, and Custom finishes, plus a planned "Editions" curated retail collection.

The business operates on a project-based bespoke commissioning model: every piece is priced individually from a blank brief, with no catalogue, standard range, or publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue streams comprise bespoke commissions, specialist finishes supplied to client- or studio-provided pieces, and the forthcoming made-to-order "Editions" line. Distribution is exclusively direct, anchored by showroom experiences where designers and clients evaluate tactile surfaces in person, supplemented by referral relationships with leading interior design studios and presence at events such as Decorex 2025 and WOW!house 2025 at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. The company serves three named customer segments: super-prime residential (primary), luxury commercial and hospitality, and superyacht.

Named collaborators and client references include 1508 London, Laura Hammett Interiors, Rigby, Hill House, Winch, House of Rohl, Renata Drumond Interiors, and The Old War Office. Anka has received industry recognition including the International Design & Architecture Awards 2025 and a 2018 Bath Life Magazine front-cover feature. The team has grown from three people at founding to 25 artisans, designers, finishers, and project staff, with no external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership signals disclosed in the source material.

Revenue model

1. Bespoke Commissions: Every piece is commissioned individually from a blank brief — no catalogue or standard ranges. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis, with each commission priced individually based on complexity, materials, and craftsmanship required. This is a high-value, low-volume, one-time transaction model.
2. Specialist Finishes Supply: Anka applies specialist finishes (liquid metal, resin, timber) to surfaces, furniture, and architectural elements for clients and design studios. Revenue is project-based, with finishes applied to bespoke or client-provided pieces.
3. Editions Collection (Retail): A curated retail collection of pieces crafted by Anka, made to order. Listed as 'Coming soon' on the Editions page, indicating a planned future revenue stream of semi-bespoke or ready-to-order items.
