3D plans for larger projects
Complete kitchen, fit-out, staircase: the project is drawn in 3D and priced before we start. For a small piece, a sketch and a price are enough.
Carpenters in Nyon, father to son since 1967
Family workshop in Grens. Bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, staircases and furniture, built and fitted by our own team, never subcontracted.
Designed for you, made in Switzerland
Who we work for
Homeowners, architects, businesses
Private clients
House or flat. We come and measure, you receive a fixed price, and nothing starts without your written approval.
Architects and interior designers
We work from your drawings and flag anything that will not work in production before we start. One point of contact, from survey to installation.
Professionals and businesses
Offices, shops, restaurants, or carpentry packages on coordinated sites. Professional liability, SUVA, and dates written into the quote.
Since 1967, we keep our word. Simple as that.
Our guarantees
Fixed quote, everything in writing
Net prices and clear timescales, under the Swiss SIA 118 standards. No hidden extras, nothing added halfway through the job.
Plenty of high-end work
Rare timbers, veneers, traditional joints. A large share of our work is for villas and architect-led projects on La Côte and in Geneva.
Insurance & site safety
Professional liability insurance and SUVA: a clean, insured and safe site, in your home or on a construction site.
Never subcontracted
Workshop in Grens, fitted by our own team. The same hands from the first measurement to the last screw.
Certified, durable materials
FSC/PEFC timbers, clean and traceable finishes. We tell you where the wood comes from.
About
One family. One workshop. One craft.
In 1967, Nardo Hernandez opened his carpentry workshop in Grens, just outside Nyon. His son Manuel works there today, in the same building, with the same skills passed down from one generation to the next. A family workshop where wood has been worked with care and patience for more than sixty years. That craftsmanship is why a large share of our work today is high-end: villas, fine cabinetmaking and rare timbers, for private clients and architects across La Côte and Geneva.
Our method
How it works
We come and measure
A free appointment at your home. We take real measurements, listen to what you have in mind, and spot the constraints nobody sees on a plan.
Itemised quote, with a 3D plan when the project calls for it
You receive an itemised quote. For larger projects (kitchen, complete fit-out, staircase), we include a 3D plan so you can see the result before deciding. Nothing starts without your written approval.
Built in Grens
Everything is made in our workshop, five minutes from Nyon. FSC/PEFC certified timbers, finishes checked piece by piece before anything leaves.
Installation & follow-up
Our team installs everything cleanly in your home. We check that it is perfect, make any final adjustments, and stay available for follow-up.
FAQ
Your questions answered
Do you only work for private clients?
No. We work for private clients (houses, flats) as well as professionals: offices, restaurants, shops and architects.

We are based in Grens (near Nyon) and work throughout French-speaking Switzerland: the canton of Vaud, Geneva, La Côte and the surrounding area.
Which types of wood do you offer?
We have access to an almost unlimited choice: oak, ash, walnut, maple, beech, larch, fir… as well as rare tropical hardwoods on request. All our materials are FSC/PEFC certified and chosen for durability.
