About me

Hello, welcome to my shop. 

 

I’m passionate about creating beautiful, handcrafted furniture – a journey that began over 20 years ago as a simple hobby and has grown into my full-time craft and business. From my small one-person shop in the peaceful Jura mountains near Aarau, Switzerland, I build each piece completely by hand, using traditional joinery techniques without screws wherever possible to ensure strength, longevity, and beauty.

 

I specialise in custom furniture design and fine woodworking, creating everything from Shoji lamps with Kumiko panels to elegant oak wall cabinets, benches, keepsake boxes, and unique wooden decor pieces. Each project starts with careful planning and design, often using SketchUp to model every detail precisely before cutting wood. This process ensures that your furniture not only looks beautiful but also functions perfectly in your home.

 

I would love to design and build a special piece of furniture just for you.  Please feel free to contact me anytime with your ideas and dreams – design discussions and project planning are always free, and I never charge anything until you are completely happy with the design and ready to begin building your unique piece.

Description

I handmade this custom keepsake box out of Swiss oak and maple.  The inner boxes are made from Swiss cherry and the dovetail inlays are made from walnut.  It has a Kumiko top with Japanese Awagami Unryu paper underneath.  Kumiko is a Japanese technique of assembling wooden pieces without the use of nails.  I made only one of these boxes.
