Hurni + Sohn

What Hurni + Sohn does

Hurni + Sohn AG is a privately held, fourth-generation family carpentry and joinery business headquartered in Ferenbalm, in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. It serves private homeowners through a direct-to-consumer model, delivering custom kitchens, complete interior finishing (floors, stairs, doors, wall paneling, cabinets, fire protection, soundproofing, windows), bespoke furniture, repairs and restoration, and specialty projects such as shipbuilding and custom lighting. Customers engage via a permanent kitchen exhibition at the workshop, on-site consultations, and the company's website and social media channels.

The underlying technology is traditional craftsmanship across multiple materials (wood, metal, glass, granite, plastic), with no proprietary software, digital product, or AI component. Each piece is fabricated in-house as a one-off custom creation; the workshop coordinates external tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, etc.) as needed for kitchen renovations. The service portfolio also includes brand-independent kitchen appliance replacement.

Revenue is generated on a quote-based, one-time project basis for each custom engagement, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The business is family-owned with management team members Alex Hurni, Flavio Bortoluzzi, and Andreas Dietrich. Distribution is single-channel and single-geography: a physical showroom and on-site consultations serving the Canton of Bern. No external investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity, patents, or formal partnerships are disclosed.
