CustomMade is an online marketplace that connects people
just like you with expert, professional makers from all over who can create
exactly what you are looking for.
When CustomMade was founded, it was under the question of
why? Why would customers go to a big box
furniture store when there are local, custom furniture makers? Why would they go to a large retail store to
buy a piece of jewelry, when they could create their own custom jewelry with
any number of independent artists?
The answer seemed to be that custom felt inaccessible, and
CustomMade is here to change that. We
support you through the entire process: from gathering ideas, posting your
unique project, to finding makers, all the way up to delivery. Throughout the
entire process, you are protected by our Trust and Safety Guarantee, just
another way CustomMade ensures you get exactly what you want.
CustomMade is an online marketplace that connects customers with independent artisans (called "custom makers") who produce custom-designed furniture, jewelry, home décor, and other personalized items. CustomMade is the world’s first and largest online seller of custom products. They have 3,500 custom makers registered on the site and have raised a total of $7.65 million in venture funding.
1. Custom becomes an obsession. As a shopper, once you’re empowered to get something exactly the way you want it, you will realize you can get ANYTHING made exactly the way you want it. And CustomMade thinks you should be able to. Easily.
2. There is some talented individual maker or some company out there who can make you exactly what you’re looking for, exactly the way you want it. All you need is a way to communicate with that maker
Customers can browse listings and galleries based on criteria like function of the item, proximity of the custom maker, or build materials.They can search by category, such as "wine-room design" or "custom tile mosaics," or by location, which gives the names of local custom makers.Potential customers can also post a proposed item to the site’s Job Board and custom makers will bid for the chance to build it. Through the Job Board, customers can provide guidelines like time flexibility, price range, and a basic idea of the desired item.Users can also browse and choose from already-made furniture, jewelry, glass, and metal objects. CustomMade builders are also available to build entire homes.
CustomMade also has a commercial gallery with work examples.[8] The galleries show examples such as restaurant and office build-outs, conference tables, wine cellars, liturgical furnishings, gun cabinets, musical instruments, clocks, walking sticks, engagement rings, mirrors, frames, boats, and vases.[8][13] Specifically, custom maker Kyle Buckner produced an "iTable," which has touch-screen functions like an iPhone but is built with scratch-resistant coatings making it a functional table. Another Massachusetts customer commissioned the production of a "lobster tickler," a device for catching crustaceans.
