We are a heritage-driven brand that focuses on artisanal boutique furnishings thoughtfully designed and manufactured with people, planet, and prosperity at the heart of everything we do.
Artifeks: is derived from the Latin word Artifex, meaning artisan or craftsmith. Replacing the x with a hard “k” from the Filipino alphabet represents the local artisan while the colon signifies a signature; that each piece is a product of joy created by artisans.
Spanning three generations of metal, wood, resin, natural fibers and textile, our team’s creative and collective energy ensures that our ethos is applied in our culture and workflow.
Much like nature's plenty, the resilience of our artisans in mastering their craft with the resources and means available to them, evoke in us the same passion for what it means to live rich and sustainable lives.
With circularity in mind, artisans are guided with relevant practices on reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.
Artifeks: creates timeless pieces that honor craftsmanship and sustainability. Every design reflects our commitment to lasting quality and conscious consumption.
