When wood becomes emotion...
Eben&Or is, above all, the unique vision of an exceptional cabinetmaker, Michaël Joyeux. A keen, passionate eye that explores wood as others explore a work of art. He sees it as much more than a material: a living substance, to be listened to and revealed.
Each piece of bespoke furniture is the result of an intimate dialogue between the cabinetmaker and the material, between the hand and intuition.
A table, a bookcase, a piece of furniture: it all starts with an emotion – yours. What we handcraft in our workshop in Switzerland is never limited to a single function. It’s a piece of life, an experience, a legacy in the making, imagined with you, for you.
Michaël Joyeux has been working with wood for over twenty years. A high-fashion cabinetmaker, he sculpts light, magnifies textures and pushes the limits of traditional cabinetmaking to create unique, made-to-measure pieces.
Each creation is designed for those who are looking for more than just top-of-the-range furniture: a palpable emotion, a rare work of art that reflects who you are.
Every project begins with a story. Yours. Each room becomes the reflection of an art of living: yours.
Creating the exception, mastering the detail.
In our Swiss workshop in Neuchâtel, Eben&Or brings unique projects to life, combining the tradition of fine cabinetmaking with creative freedom. Whether you’re an architect, a designer or a discerning homeowner, we can create bespoke furniture, exceptional tables, built-in bookcases and rare furnishings.
Ebony, olive, ziricote, walnut, zebrano… Each species tells its own story. We sublimate them with exceptional materials: shagreen, crocodile leather, gold leaf, mother-of-pearl, resin, straw marquetry, parchment…
Every detail, every assembly, is thought out with the precision of a goldsmith. The balance between lines and materials reveals the power of a creation designed to last, to be handed down.
We don’t create furniture. We craft fine woodwork.
The haute-ébénisterie experience
At Eben&Or, cabinetmaking becomes an immersive art. From sketch to final piece, each project is the result of a confidential process, with no preconceived models. No compromises.
Whether you’re dreaming of a bespoke piece of furniture, a sculpted table or an integrated layout, each creation is crafted to reflect your most persolal desires.
Here, your ideas take shape, your requirements become our raw material.
A partner for architects and interior designers
Interior architects, decorators, design offices: Eben&Or is your trusted partner for the most demanding projects.
We guide you every step of the way, with rigor and discretion. Complex constraints, unusual finishes, rare materials: we transform your challenges into works of fine craftsmanship, designed to elevate the space.
Every Eben&Or project begins with an encounter… and a material. The choice of wood, leather or resin is not a matter of chance: it reflects your world, your desires and your aesthetic requirements.
Eben&Or creates bespoke furnishings and decorative items, crafted from the most precious woods and the rarest materials. Sculpted coffee tables, exceptional furniture, built-in bookcases, top-of-the-range furnishings… Each creation embodies a quest for balance between form, use and emotion.
Textures respond, contrasts, converse and lines whisper a story. More than a piece of furniture: a presence. A signature. An invitation to slow down.
