The workshop

More than a furniture shop: a joiner's bench

Behind every piece there is a person, a workshop and a little time. This is the story of YOURBRAND, from the first joiner's bench to the signature under the top.

The story

One workshop, plenty of wood and one rule: made well

YOURBRAND began in 1994 in a small village workshop: a few machines, the joiner's bench and the urge to build furniture that lasts a lifetime. No mass production: every project starts from your drawing and ends with the installation, handled by the same pair of hands.

We work solid wood - oak, walnut, ash, larch - at the right pace: the wood seasons, the joint is tested, the finish is applied by hand. That is why every piece is designed for the space it will live in, measured to the millimetre and built to last.

Who is behind the bench

Luca Moretti

Joiner and owner · at the bench since 1994

Luca learned the trade as a boy, in a workshop, and in 1994 opened his own. Since then he follows every project in person: the site visit, the drawing, cutting the wood and the final installation. A single point of contact, from the first measurement to the signature under the top.

The workshop

A look inside the workshop

The workshop is a large room full of wood: the machines on one side, the joiner's bench in the middle, shelves of wood and finish samples. This is where every project takes shape, from the cut to the hand finish, and it is also the showroom where we display finished kitchens and furniture.

The workshop is also a showroom: come and feel the woods and see the finishes in person, or book a site visit.

The process

From design to installation

No surprises and no shortcuts. Every job goes through the same four stages, followed by a single point of contact.

01

Site visit and design

We come to survey the space to the millimetre, understand how you live in the home and design the piece to measure, with a clear quote.

02

Choosing the woods

Together we choose the woods and finishes: oak, walnut, ash, larch. We show you the samples in person, in the workshop.

03

Building in the workshop

We cut, joint and hand-finish, one piece at a time. Everything is dry-fitted before the final finish.

04

Installation and handover

We install on site with care, adjust every detail and leave the site tidy. Then we explain how to look after it.

Our values

Four promises, on every project

Bespoke, for real

No rigid catalogues: we survey the space to the millimetre and design the piece around your home and your habits.

Solid wood

Selected oak, walnut, ash and larch with traceable origin. Living material that ages well and can be repaired.

Built to last

Real joinery, quality hardware, hand-applied finishes. Solid, repairable, timeless furniture, not disposable.

A single contact

From the first drawing to the final installation you deal with one person: a clear quote, firm timing, a tidy site.

Materials and wood essences

Selected woods, traceable origin

We work solid wood and, where possible, local species: European oak and ash, walnut, alpine larch and responsibly sourced timber. We buy well, season slowly and cut waste by reusing offcuts in the workshop.

Oak

Sturdy and timeless, it brushes and oils well. The most requested choice for kitchens and doors.

Walnut

Warm and dark, with a magnificent grain. Perfect for tables, tops and statement pieces.

Ash and larch

Pale and hard-wearing: ash for bright interiors, larch for doors and joinery.

Natural finishes

Natural oils and waxes that feed the wood and can be refreshed. No plastic lacquers.

Local wood and sustainability

A short supply chain, waste kept to a minimum

Where we can, we choose wood from nearby, traceable sources: fewer journeys, support for well-managed forests and control over quality from the plank to the finished piece. Offcuts become small objects, the rest is recovered as fuel.
