YOUR LITTLE BLACK BOOK FOR
You know what the room needs. You just can't always find it. When it doesn't exist on a sourcing site or in a showroom, that's where we start.
THINK OF US AS YOUR EXTENDED WORKROOM.
One point of contact. Trade pricing. No added markup.
Rutledge Atelier gives you one point of contact to a network of makers, workrooms and resources we've spent years building. You bring the vision. We figure out who can make it, where we can find it, what it will cost and how to get it across the finish line.
You receive the same trade pricing you'd receive directly from our makers — no added markup.
THREE WAYS TO WORK WITH US
Think of Rutledge Atelier as your creative manufacturing partner and project quarterback.
We can be engaged in several ways:
SOURCING
You make the list. We hunt it down. Tap into our network of makers, showrooms, artisans and resources — including pieces and inventory you may never see online.As a specialty partner supporting an existing procurement firm
FAST CUSTOM
Start with an existing silhouette, then make it yours. Fabric, finish and select details can be customized, with many pieces available in 6–8 weeks.
FULL BESPOKE
From inspiration image or sketch to finished piece, we manage CADs, prototypes, fabrication and production from start to finish.
Real constraints — budget, scale and timeline — shape the plan from day one, not after the fact.
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.
