ABOUT US

Atelier16 is an online store with a wishlist service that brings together your loved ones to fulfill your desires.

The catalog features over eighty luxury and premium brands, offering gifts and decor items from renowned Houses with more than two hundred years of history, as well as from emerging young designers and contemporary art.

We are the founders of Atelier16, Zhanna Karapetyan and Anna Kotlyar. We studied investment banking and theatrical management, but for the past 15 years, we have been doing what we truly love: client business in the fields of beauty, home goods, and interior design. We take pride in having built trusting relationships with leading global brands and becoming their official distributors. This allows us to negotiate special conditions for our clients and offer rare, unique gifts to those who value not only the items themselves but also the emotions associated with them.

HOW DOES THE SERVICE WORK ?

Using Atelier16, you can compile a list of gifts that you would like to receive from your loved ones for your wedding, anniversary, or other important life event. The gifts can be selected from our catalogue that presents the goods of over 80 luxury homeware brands. If the catalogue is missing something or you need some advice, simply drop a note to our concierges, and we’ll be happy to help.

Send the link to the finished list to your guests so that they can decide on the specific gift, and leave the rest to us: we’ll arrange the purchase, carefully package the gift, and quickly deliver it anywhere in the world.

WHAT IS IT FOR ?

Everyone loves celebrations, but, let us be honest, few people like to choose presents and are good at it. Often this process becomes a real ordeal for both sides.

 

“Will they like it? What will the others gift? Where can I find what they asked for? How can I deliver the gift abroad if the celebration takes place away from home?” - these are the common questions that worry the guests.

 

“How can I hint that I want something specific? How can I hint the budget? Should I admit to the guests that they gave me the cups from the wrong dinner set?” agonize the hosts.

 

Atelier16 shoulders all of the logistical issues. It enables the honorees to receive the coveted gifts without worrying about logistics as we’ll deliver them at any convenient time and place. And for the guests, Atelier16 provides an opportunity to let go of uncertainty and select a gift in the comfortable price range from the list, knowing that it will definitely make the giftee happy. 

WHAT CAN WE OFFER ?

We have studied the market for many years, building trusting relationships with the brands and fulfilling the most unusual private orders from very demanding clients. Now, we have a collection of the decor objects, home accessories and gifts from the world’s most coveted brands. Among them are the homewares from the seminal houses and contemporary brands: china from Hermès, Royal Copenhagen, and Limoges manufactury Haviland, Modernist wine glasses from Aveсo, textile goods from Yves Delorme, crystal and silver from De Lamerie, and home furnishings from Ralph Lauren Homе.

 

But our work involves not just the things themselves, but also the positive feelings and pleasant memories, which is why it’s especially important for us that you have a very special experience with Atelier16. Our consultants and etiquette experts will always help you to make the right choice, while the concierge service is open to special requests. We can do a commemorative engraving, find an antique or a work of art for the hero of the special day, and attend to any of your wishes with regards to the wrapping and delivery.

Is this expensive ?

We have compiled our collection of gifts in such a way that the guests feel comfortable with any budget. Please, register at the site to see the prices. We offer both the famous brands with history and the affordable contemporary manufacturers, but even if the honoree has added the Hermès dinner set to the wishlist, each guest can select a single tea set or a plate, making the gift a shared one. Another excellent practice is to gift one object from that special dinner set for each important life event, turning the process of its collection into a heart-warming tradition and also fixing a problem of gift selection for several years to come.

 

“This aspect was always very important to me because the premium brands sell not just the goods, but also stories, service, and emotions that you get from the purchase. And it is in my power to make sure that the purchase brings back pleasant memories for many years to come.

It was this immersion in the “service” part of our work and reflections on buying emotions, not things, that led me to create Atelier16. Everyone loves a celebration: it is the focus of happy emotions and an opportunity to share it with your most loved ones, the people that make exchanging presents especially pleasurable.

But let’s be honest, few people like the responsibility that comes with making difficult choices. So, why not create a service that would take all the worries upon itself, leaving you and your guests only with the pleasant part?

I dreamt of such service as a client, and I dreamt on the international online project as an entrepreneur, and I’m very happy that Atelier16 brought these dreams together. I’m ready to invest all my know-how, energy, and passion into this project, and I’m confident it will all work out,” says Janet Karapetyan.
