About Alicja, Founder of ALAMADE

Where furniture becomes art.

I’ve always been drawn to calm, well-balanced interiors and homes that feel thoughtful and lived in. As a child, I spent hours sketching rooms and objects, curious about how space, form, and small details shape the atmosphere of a home.

My creative background began with music, where I learned rhythm, tone, and restraint. Later, I studied artistic education, developing a love for drawing, visual storytelling, and craftsmanship. These influences continue to guide how I work today.

After moving to the UK, I found my way back to creativity through furniture. Restoring existing pieces felt natural and meaningful – choosing solid, time-worn furniture and giving it new life through careful preparation and hand painting. ALAMADE grew quietly from this process.

Today, I work slowly and intentionally, allowing each piece the time it needs. I pay close attention to proportion, surface, and detail, creating furniture that feels considered rather than overworked. Some pieces are subtle, others more expressive, but all are guided by instinct rather than trends.

Every ALAMADE piece is made using existing furniture, thoughtfully restored and transformed by hand. When you bring one into your home, you’re not just buying furniture — you’re choosing a piece with history, character, and a renewed purpose.

Subtle details and a calm, refined atmosphere within the home.

Why I Work by Commission

I work by commission because every piece of furniture has its own history, and every home has its own story.

Commission work allows me to slow down and pay proper attention, to the proportions and character of the piece, and to the person it belongs to. Instead of working in volume or following trends, I design each piece with care, shaped by what it has been and considered for how it will be used next.

Many commissions involve furniture with personal meaning. These are pieces worth keeping rather than replacing. By transforming them, I respect what already exists while adapting the piece to suit your space, your taste and how you live now.

Each commissioned piece is hand painted, carefully finished and completely individual. No two outcomes are the same because no two stories are the same.

Working this way keeps ALAMADE personal, considered and sustainable. It is not about producing more. It is about preserving what matters, transforming it with care, and creating beauty that lasts.
