HOW IT WORKS.

Every project starts differently. Every project ends the same way — beautifully executed, on time, and exactly what you envisioned.

Browse our shop or Lookbook and find a piece that's right for a project. Purchase directly online, or reach out if you need a different finish, fabric, or size. Many pieces are available within 4–8 weeks but some custom work can take 3 months.
You love the direction but need it scaled differently, covered in your own fabric, or finished another way. That's a custom conversation and we're built for it. Send us what you're thinking and we'll take it from there.
Send us your Design Brief — drawings, mood boards, storyboards, a scope of work, whatever you're working from. We take it to our makers, identify what can be built, sourced, or found within your budget, and come back with options. Think of us as your sourcing hawk — we hunt until we find exactly what the project needs.
Completely original. Built from scratch. A collaboration between your vision and our makers' hands. We manage the design development, prototyping, and production from first sketch to final installation.
Our makers maintain full portfolios that go well beyond what's shown on this site. Once we understand your project and budget, we open the full catalog — everything our Guild can produce, source, or commission. The right piece exists. We'll find it.

THE PROCESS

YOU DREAM IT. WE BUILD IT.

1. Scope & Vision

Share your drawings, inspiration, or brief. We translate design intent into pieces that can actually be built, scaled, and delivered.
One Unified Proposal

We engage the right makers and return a single proposal — specifications, material options, lead times, and pricing. No fragmented vendor threads, no scattered pricing.
3. Approval & Deposit

Once selections are finalized we issue a consolidated contract and scope of work. A 70% deposit initiates production with the balance due prior to delivery. Payment is made to Rutledge Atelier — we manage distribution to each maker and oversee all production scheduling.
4. Design Development & Prototyping

As needed we coordinate CAD drawings, finish and material samples, upholstery mockups, and full-scale prototypes for seating, banquettes, beds, and lighting. We track every revision and translate feedback into clear production action.
5. Production & Project Management

Through our project management system we track maker timelines, sample approvals, fabric and material arrivals, revision notes, site visits, and installation sequencing. You see one organized transparent workflow instead of a dozen parallel threads.
6. Delivery & Installation

We coordinate: White-glove delivery or receiving warehouse logistics; Maker-supervised installation for complex pieces; phased rollouts for multi-floor or multi-property projects; shipping is billed separately.
