ARTESA

Just as artisans craft each design by hand, Artesa (Catalan-speak for ‘artisan’) weaves together the elements—volumes, textures, colours, lights, ergonomics, human habits—to mould interiors into homes.

As a design consultancy, Artesa brings a touch of finesse into every living space. Our quest for beauty, balance, and harmony is expressed in the strict symmetry of space alignment, the finest difference between two shades of grey, and even the appropriate diameter of a door hinge.

With an enviable portfolio of residential designs across Asia, ranging from studio units to sprawling landed properties, Artesa bring a wealth of experience to the making of any home. We constantly redefine much-visited themes—classical, modernist, traditional, eclectic, or contemporary—so as to cultivate the best elements of a site and tailor a home that truly personifies you.
