About Alicja, Founder of ALAMADE

Where furniture becomes art.

I have always been drawn to interiors that feel balanced, calm and considered. As a child, I spent hours sketching imagined rooms and objects, exploring how space, form and detail affect how we feel at home.

My creative grounding began at music school. I learned rhythm, tone and restraint through sound rather than paint. Later, during formal artistic education, I studied drawing, art history and visual expression. Music shaped my sensitivity. Art trained my eye. Together they continue to guide how I work.

After moving to the UK, my creative path returned to me through furniture. Restoring and transforming old pieces allowed me to combine craft, design and emotion in a very direct way. I chose a neglected item, prepared it with care, and painted it by hand. That moment brought everything back into focus, and ALAMADE began quietly from there.

Today, my studio is a place where the past is given new meaning. I work at a measured pace, studying each piece closely before making decisions. Form, proportion and surface matter. The work may be understated or more expressive, but it is always guided by instinct rather than fashion.

Every ALAMADE piece carries its own history and a sense of renewal. When you take one into your home, you are not just buying furniture. You are continuing its story.

Values

Our Values

Intentional Craftsmanship

Each piece is created slowly and with purpose, allowing the design to unfold naturally.

Natural Inspiration

Botanical lines, soft movements and organic forms guide our aesthetic.

Timeless Beauty

We prioritise elegance over trends, creating pieces meant to be loved for years.

Authenticity

Every design is hand-drawn and hand-painted — unique, personal, one of a kind.

Quiet Luxury

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.
