Who we are

A team of cabinetmakers, with a design studio built in.

Albert Ébénisterie was founded in Gland in 2017, moved to Gingins in 2022, and has been growing into a team since. What follows tells who we are and how the workshop took shape.

Our story

How the workshop took shape.

Four milestones in less than ten years: one founder alone, a new workshop, a growing team, an in-house design studio.

2017

Founded in Gland

Massimo Albert starts Albert Ébénisterie on his own at the bench. First workshop in Gland, one machine, bespoke woodwork projects.

2019

New workshop in Gingins

Move to Chemin des Cheseaux, into a workshop sized for more ambitious machinery. The team grows from one to three cabinetmakers.

2025

Partnership and growth plan

Laurent Hayoz partners with Massimo Albert. The team grows with several CFC-qualified cabinetmakers and an apprentice. Projects gain scope.

2026

Integrated design

The team grows with an interior architect / draftsperson, letting us take on ambitious high-end projects. Eight people around every project, from first sketch to installation.

The team

The faces behind every project.

A tight team. You speak directly to the people who design, build and install. No middlemen.

About

From sketch to site — the same team.

Designed in-house

Our in-house design office draws every project before a single cut is made. You sign off on the 3D plans.

Built in-house

Everything is made in-house, letting us stay flexible and responsive at every stage of a truly bespoke project.

Installed in person

The cabinetmakers who built your project are the ones who come to install it. One point of contact, start to finish.

Built to last

Traditional joinery, premium hardware, natural finishes. Repairable piece by piece.

Jobs

The workshop is growing.

We recruit regularly — cabinetmakers, apprentices and design profiles. If you want real autonomy and direct feedback, come and see.
