High-end joiner

An array of expertise to bring your finest projects to life

A high-end joiner does more than just work with wood. At Ateliers ARKAL, we transform this remarkable material into furniture or fittings, drawing on an array of talents to work our magic, from design to installation. Since 2001, we have harnessed our team’s savoir-faire to bring you, the fitting professionals, bespoke, premium-quality solutions.

A tried and tested process

Each creation is the result of a carefully managed process, the cornerstone of our commitment to excellence. Every step in this process reflects our ability to turn your ideas into a tangible and workable solution.

The reason we are able to uphold such rigorous standards is that your project is handled exclusively in-house, by the Ateliers ARKAL team. When we need to call on additional skills to produce a piece – ironmongery, for example –, we turn to our hand-picked, highly trusted partners. 

When you need bespoke furniture or fitting solutions, Atelier ARKAL is a partner of choice. We are thorough, focused, and committed to satisfying your every need.

Founded on professional craftsmanship

High-end joinery is a craft profession that requires human skills. Today, machines have replaced people in many areas but for us, the machines are still just tools. We have a team made up of passionate craftspeople who are committed to helping you to attain excellence. 

Our workshop applies a careful balance of tradition and innovation, and is a hub of creativity and experimentation. Our machinery is regularly updated to assist our woodworkers in their work. Nonetheless, the human eye and attention to detail remain paramount. Our artisans strive to ensure that your creations perfectly match your vision.

The many facets of our profession as high-end joiners

01. Engineering

As soon as we receive your request, we study its technical feasibility and provide you with a clear, costed proposal. Our team offers an all-round service to meet your deadline, budget and quality requirements.

02. Design office

Our design office combines technical expertise and constant innovation to turn your ideas into reality, respecting your specific constraints and meeting all your expectations.

03. Workshop

The craftspeople at Ateliers ARKAL skilfully combine time-honoured woodworking techniques with cutting-edge technology, an approach that turns your projects into something quite extraordinary.

04. Materials and finish

The finishing stage embellishes the appearance of the natural wood or gives it an unexpected aesthetic, with the material and textures bringing out all the beauty of your joinery pieces.

05. Fitting

Following meticulous plans, our in-house fitting team ensures expert installation and precise assembly of your elements on site.

06. Services

We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction for many years to come, which is why ARKAL Services will always be on hand to respond to your requests, long after installation of your furniture and fittings.

06. Services

At Ateliers ARKAL, our involvement doesn’t end with delivery of the project. We offer a comprehensive post-installation service to ensure ongoing support and to meet all your requirements. Once the project has been completed, we remain on hand to deal promptly with any requests through our dedicated ARKAL Services department.

A qualified and attentive member of staff is on hand to deal with any urgent issues or longer-term adjustments. Maintaining close contact even after delivery is essential to keeping everything in perfect condition and addressing any concerns you may have as quickly as possible.

05. Fitting

A project is only really complete once it is installed in the space for which it was designed. Fitting is a delicate but decisive stage. To ensure a successful outcome, we have a dedicated in-house fitting team. We can therefore make sure that the job is done properly, with no need to get subcontractors involved.

Our joiners are specially trained in the fitting process and come out to your premises to install your project according to your specifications.

04. Materials & finish

The finish is (almost) the final touch to your piece. Wood, our raw material, undergoes a metamorphosis in the hands of the painter-finisher. It takes on the look you aspire to, whether that’s a natural finish or a more innovative effect.

A high-end joiner excels not only in the technical side but also in aesthetics and the use of textures. In order to meet your needs, we are continuously exploring new materials and finishing techniques. The tests we carry out as part of this proactive approach enable us to validate new solutions in real-life situations, to ensure their relevance and quality for your projects.

03. Workshop

Contrary to the traditional approach where the joiner works with solid wood and the cabinetmaker with veneer, our craftspeople master both of these essential and interdependent skills.

The cabinetmaker-joiner responsible for your project first analyses the plans to get an understanding of the design and assembly requirements. Next, they will prepare everything they need to start work, such as cutting the wood panels.

Our machines are highly sophisticated and designed to assist our artisans in executing their work with finesse and precision. Our creations are the result of authentic craftsmanship handed down from one generation to the next in our workshop.

In all, twenty or so men and women work autonomously to uphold the quality standards expected from Ateliers ARKAL.

02. Design office

Your account manager works with the people in the design office and the specialists in the workshop assigned to your project, to see it through to successful completion. 

They analyse and transpose the initial plans, taking into account your architectural and aesthetic constraints. With their expert and meticulous eye, they will add the final details to ensure that the plans can be implemented correctly. With our draughtspeople’s specialist knowledge of materials and manufacturing methods, you can be sure that your ideas are entirely feasible. 

We may also create prototypes to validate the project. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the final solution that satisfies your quality requirements. Once the plans have been approved by the architect, they are passed on to the workshop.

01. Engineering

Making a unique piece of joinery starts well before the workshop. Our approach begins with an in-depth technical study and cost assessment, before the order is confirmed. The feasibility study is key to the success of your project. A sales representative and an account manager work together to draw up a detailed, achievable proposal in response to your brief. As part of this pre-project phase, we put forward possible alternatives if technical feasibility proves lacking. As such, you won’t be in for any unpleasant surprises once the project is under way.

After order confirmation, you’ll be assigned a dedicated point-of-contact – your account manager – who will coordinate the project with the technical, manufacturing and fitting teams. They will be your go-to person at all times.
