Wow! Our large wall unit is almost completely installed and I am amazed by its beauty! The installation team have undertaken quite a challenge getting such a large and complex piece of furniture into my apartment.

Just a quick note that I am loving ‘Gods space’. Also getting PLENTY of comments from external people about how this is the best office space they have ever seen. From AMP’s CEO to CEO’s in the USA who have visited me, they all say the same.

We are delighted to provide this reference to Mark and his team at Mark Alexander Design Artistry following the completion of our new home. The brief was to completely furnish the house including window furnishings, floor coverings, feature lighting, mosaic tiling and extensive wall papering.

Initially I was looking online some quality furniture pieces for my new home. Not only did I find my perfect table which was beautifully individually made to suit my home, I found a true professional and interior artist.
