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 – we will work together until you are completely happy with the design and ready to begin building your unique piece.

A unique meeting of traditional Japanese woodworking and science-fiction-inspired design.
This handcrafted Shoji lamp takes inspiration from the distinctive geometric silhouettes of classic spacecraft. Its four large illuminated side panels feature a striking symmetrical design, with twin angular wings surrounding a central geometric cockpit. The result is a subtle nod to the iconic space fighters of science-fiction cinema, reinterpreted through traditional Japanese woodworking.
The top panel features a complementary hexagonal Kumiko pattern, creating a beautiful geometric detail that can be appreciated from above as well as from the sides.
Each lamp is individually handcrafted in my small Swiss workshop using traditional woodworking techniques. The carefully assembled wooden framework and Japanese Shoji aesthetic create a warm, atmospheric light while making this lamp an unusual decorative object.
