ARTIFEXStudio

Corporate and hotel giftsCorporate gifts your clients keep on their desk.

Artifex designs and makes custom gifts for companies, hotels and professional firms: usually we start from scratch, together, for an object tailored to your identity, made in wood, leather, metal or technical materials, engraved with your logo and carefully packaged. From limited series to several hundred pieces, shipped worldwide.

01

We start from scratch, together

A catalogue gadget with a printed logo ends up in a drawer. The right gift comes from your story: your place, your product, your clients. That's why it usually isn't picked from a list: a new object is designed, with shape, material, engraving and packaging made for you, and you see it as a render before it's produced.

02

A few examples to start from

  • Letter openers and desk objects in solid wood
  • Watches with a custom dial and engraved caseback, on watches supplied by Artifex
  • Bookmarks and metal objects with leather sleeves
  • Key rings shaped like your product or logo
  • Scale models of your product or building
  • Numbered series for anniversaries and special occasions

More ideas in the guide corporate gifts that don't end up in a drawer.

03

For hotels and restaurants, beyond gifts

Gifts for guests, staff, an anniversary or your most loyal clients, but also the small objects that make a property recognisable: wooden cubes with the wifi QR code, room numbers and plates, room key fobs, signage, reception objects. Texts and packaging in English, French and Italian. For interiors, see architects and interior designers.

04

Materials and packaging

Sustainably grown solid wood, vegetable-tanned leather, metal, cotton, paper and twine: natural materials and Italian suppliers wherever possible. Engraving and cutting by laser and CNC, with packaging and a card telling the story of the object designed together.

05

How it works and when to order

  1. Brief: occasion, recipients, quantity, budget, deadline.
  2. Proposals with renders, to choose before production.
  3. Sample for approval.
  4. Series production, finishing and packaging.
  5. Delivery, ready to ship or hand out.

For Christmas, projects usually start between September and October; more complex ones even earlier. Rush orders are possible: tell me the date and I'll prepare a dedicated quote.

Real projects

01

400 gifts for three properties in Val Thorens

Solid wood letter openers for Hôtel Pashmina, Hôtel 3 Vallées and Val Thorens Immobilier: CNC-roughed, finished entirely by hand, laser-engraved with each property's logo, with leather straps and cotton, twine and paper packaging.

Spartibuste Metrico for Studio Arrò Architetti

Forty letter openers cut from the centuries-old Sardinian juniper trunk supplied by the firm, founded in 1950: laser-engraved, hand-shaped, with a vegetable-tanned leather strap and a cotton pouch. The firm's gift to its most important clients.

Key rings for CGM Impianti

Three hundred wooden key rings shaped like a fan, like the company's products, with contact details laser-engraved.

FAQ

Is there a minimum quantity?

No. From one-off pieces to full series: materials and process are chosen according to the quantity.

Can you use our logo and colours?

Yes. If needed, I adapt the logo to the process, for example a solid-line version for wood engraving.

Do you engrave watches we already own?

I prefer to work on watches supplied by Artifex, chosen for personalisation. Clients' own watches are considered only for a series bought specifically for it.

How far ahead should we order?

For a few dozen pieces a few weeks are often enough; for several hundred hand-finished pieces, start two or three months before. If you are in a hurry, rush orders are possible with a dedicated quote.

Do you write the card text too?

Yes, I can design and print the card that tells the story of the object, in several languages.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, worldwide. I work in English, French and Italian.
