Our Story
Built by a print agent who couldn't find the right tool. So built one.
Platfora exists because the most talented studios and artists in the world deserve a platform that matches the quality of their work.
Patricia Lynch
Founder
I've spent over a decade at the centre of the global surface design industry, and I built Platfora because I kept running into the same problem.
As the founder of PARTRIDGE, a boutique print agency representing exclusive artwork from studios around the world, I saw both sides of the industry up close. Brilliant studios struggling to present their work in a way that made buyers want to source it. Dated platforms. PDFs that never represented the work well. Buyers who weren't being inspired.
Platfora started as PARTRIDGE's own solution and became something the whole industry could use. A platform that gives every studio its own branded marketplace, connects them directly with buyers and takes no commission on their work.
Everything we've learned over years of selling print is built into this platform.
The surface design industry runs on talent.
Platfora exists to make sure that talent is seen, sourced and sold.

We built Platfora because the most talented print studios in the world shouldn't have to spend their days in email threads. The work deserves better. So do the people making it.

What we stand for
Four beliefs behind every decision.
An experience buyers come back to.
Transform your showroom from a chore into a destination. We replace exhausting, endless scrolling with beautiful, elevated presentations that keep buyers fully engaged. When the shopping experience is intuitive and enjoyable, customers stay longer, wishlist more, and return often. This isn't design for design’s sake it’s commerce by design.
Work that speaks for itself.
Our platform is built with a singular focus: to drive your sales. We’ve eliminated the filler and feature bloat, leaving only the essential tools designed to move the needle. This is technology crafted from over a decade of experience, built by those who understand both sides of the table.
Your sale. Not ours.
We don't take commission. We don't sit between you and your buyer. We don't run a mass marketplace where your work competes with thousands of others. Your showroom, your buyers, your sale.
No lock in contract.
Month to month. Cancel anytime. No annual traps, no hidden fees.
