About ArtfullyBuilt
We believe that exceptional furniture should tell a story. Every piece in our collection is crafted by master artisans who pour their passion, skill, and creativity into creating functional art that will be cherished for generations.
Our Story
ArtfullyBuilt was born from a simple observation: the furniture industry had become disconnected from the human hands that create it. Mass production had replaced craftsmanship, and consumers were left with disposable pieces that lacked soul and character.
Our founders, having spent years in the design industry, recognized that there was still a community of extraordinary artisans creating pieces of exceptional beauty and quality. These makers were hidden gems, working in small studios and workshops, perfecting their craft away from the spotlight.
We set out to bridge this gap—to connect these master craftspeople with discerning customers who appreciate the value of handcrafted furniture. ArtfullyBuilt became the platform where tradition meets contemporary design, where every piece tells the story of its maker.
Our Mission
To celebrate and preserve the art of craftsmanship while making exceptional handcrafted furniture accessible to those who value quality, beauty, and authenticity.
Where Craftsmanship Meets Commerce
Vik Chadha's inspiration for ArtfullyBuilt came from furnishing GlowTouch's offices. Seeking unique pieces that reflected the company's culture, he discovered talented artisans struggling with the business side of their craft.
"I found a brilliant woodworker creating museum-quality pieces from his garage, selling them for barely above materials cost," Vik recalls. "He could build anything but couldn't price it, market it, or scale his operation. ArtfullyBuilt solves these challenges systematically."
Vik's experience building marketplaces at scale, combined with insights from helping creative businesses at EnterpriseCorp, revealed the artisan dilemma: masters at craft, novices at commerce. ArtfullyBuilt bridges this gap with tools designed specifically for custom creators.
The platform applies SaaS principles to artisan businesses: automated pricing calculators based on materials and time, customization wizards that guide customer choices, and showcase tools that highlight craftsmanship. It's Shopify meets Etsy, optimized for high-value custom work.
"Great artisans shouldn't fail because they're not great at business," Vik states. "ArtfullyBuilt handles the commerce so creators can focus on creating, turning craftsmanship into sustainable livelihood."
Having built multiple successful platforms, Vik designed ArtfullyBuilt to elevate both artisan income and customer experience, proving that handmade doesn't mean hand-sold.
