Valentina
The Valentina Armchair is a refined statement in proportion and line, where classic tailoring meets a fresh, architectural silhouette.
Defined by its gently flared back and clean, structured arms, Valentina balances softness with precision. The vertical stripe upholstery enhances its height and form, drawing the eye upward while creating a composed, tailored presence. Contrast piping traces the frame with intention, sharpening each edge and reinforcing the chair’s considered detailing.
The example shown is upholstered in a premium blue and ivory striped fabric, finished with contrast piping and solid timber legs in a warm walnut tone. This particular fabric gives Valentina a relaxed coastal sensibility, yet its form is versatile enough to sit comfortably in both contemporary and transitional interiors.
Like all Artefact seating, Valentina can be upholstered in any fabric from our extensive premium range. We work closely with you to select the ideal textile for your home and lifestyle, whether that means a refined linen, a textured boucle, a performance fabric for family living, or a bold statement print. Every piece is made to order and tailored specifically to you.
Perfect as a standalone accent chair, in a reading corner, or paired within a more formal sitting room, Valentina brings structure, personality, and enduring craftsmanship to any space.
We invite you to visit our showroom to explore fabric options and refine the final details with our team.
Sizing & customisations
Sizing & customisations
Proportion is everything. We’ll help you select the right size and layout for your room, not just what looks good on a screen.
Depending on the design, we can advise on configuration and key details, and confirm what can be tailored before anything is locked in. If you share a few photos and rough measurements, we’ll recommend the best scale and shape for the space.
Fabrics & finishes
Fabrics & finishes
Choosing the right fabric matters as much as the design itself. It determines how the piece feels, how it sits in the room, how it wears day to day, and how it holds up over the years, especially in high-use homes.
There are many fabric options, and the best choice depends on how you live. Kids, pets, direct sunlight, entertaining, everyday lounging, each one changes what “right” looks like.
Where possible, we recommend visiting the showroom. It’s the fastest way to compare texture, weave and tone in person, and to see how colours read in natural light. If you can’t make it in, we’re happy to guide you remotely, with recommendations based on your home, the room, and whether this is a feature piece or part of a wider interiors scheme.
Artefact works only with premium fabrics from established industry leaders, selected for performance, comfort and longevity. If you want a higher-touch approach, we can also support you through a phone consult or an in-home styling session.
Delivery & lead times
Delivery & lead times
Every Artefact piece is made to order. Once your size, configuration and fabric are confirmed, we’ll provide an estimated lead time and keep you updated through production.
Delivery is quoted and scheduled based on your location and access requirements, including stairs, lifts, narrow entries and site constraints. When your piece is ready, we’ll coordinate a delivery time that suits.
If timing matters, tell us early. We’ll guide you to the best path for your home and your schedule.
We’ll provide care guidance based on your selected fabric, including the basics that make a real difference, regular light vacuuming, prompt attention to spills, and avoiding prolonged direct sunlight where possible.
If you’re choosing for a high-use home, kids or pets, we’ll recommend fabrics that perform well and age gracefully.
Because each piece is made to order, changes are time-sensitive and may not be possible once production is underway. We’ll confirm the approval point in writing so you know exactly when specifications become locked.
If something arrives damaged or not as ordered, contact us promptly with photos so we can resolve it quickly. Full detail sits in our FAQ and terms.

Let's talk quality
Artefact designs and produces furniture and interiors with longevity at the core. Each piece is shaped through proportion, material integrity, and collaboration with skilled local craftspeople who take genuine pride in their work. We partner exclusively with experienced Australian makers and specify materials chosen for durability, performance, and responsible sourcing.
Our upholstery and finishes are drawn from the most respected textile and fabric houses available, selected for quality, feel, and how they wear over time. The result is work that favours enduring design over short-term trends, crafted to live well in real homes and evolve gracefully with use.
