Robin du Bois Dorthe SA

What Robin du Bois Dorthe SA does

Robin du Bois Dorthe SA is a privately-held Swiss carpentry and joinery firm (menuisier-ébéniste) headquartered in Romanel-sur-Lausanne, Canton of Vaud, serving the Lake Geneva arc. The company operates an in-house fabrication workshop at Chemin du Marais 2, an asset it highlights as differentiating relative to competitors that outsource production. Its portfolio centers on bespoke woodwork — custom furniture, parquet flooring (including decorative Versailles, Haussmannian, and Hungarian Point patterns), fitted wardrobes, wine cellars, interior stairs, shutters, windows, and wooden terraces — with additional work in metal and PVC, and supporting services in bathroom fitting, under-stair storage, and living-room interior design.

The underlying technical capability combines traditional craft woodworking with digital construction project tracking and 3D pre-visualization for custom installations. Production is centralized at the Romanel workshop and supplemented by on-site installation across the regional footprint. The company runs a dual B2B/B2C go-to-market: B2C clients reach the firm through website quote forms, phone, and direct consultation, while B2B counterparties include architects, real estate developers, and property management companies (régies) for larger-scale and recurring maintenance work.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven rather than product-priced; each engagement is sized via a free, personalized quote (devis gratuit). Revenue is generated from one-time project fees spanning small residential fittings up to large-scale contemporary interior renovations. Ownership is concentrated with Philippe Dorthe (Administrateur), and there is no disclosed parent company, external funding, or public listing. Geographic scope is strictly regional — the Lake Geneva arc and Canton de Vaud — with no global footprint claim.

Broad incumbents

• Renggli AG: Established Swiss timber construction and prefabricated home manufacturer active across the Romandie and German-speaking Switzerland. Comparable in custom wood-based interior capability but operates at a much larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Robin du Bois.
• Blumer Lehmann AG: Swiss specialist in timber construction and engineered wood (including Glulam CLT), serving residential and commercial projects. Overlaps with Robin du Bois in custom wood component manufacturing but at industrial scale with a national footprint.
• Beer Holzbau AG: Swiss timber construction company with capabilities across custom carpentry, roofing and interior woodwork. Comparable in custom-wood and interior-fitting services but operates at a substantially larger scale than Robin du Bois.
• Häring AG: Swiss timber engineering and construction firm delivering custom wood buildings and interior elements. Comparable in the custom-wood-for-buildings proposition but competes across a much wider Swiss geography.

Regional players

• Wiegel Ingenieurholzbau: German timber construction and engineered wood specialist serving regional German markets. Comparable as a custom-wood specialist serving architect-driven residential and commercial projects, but operating in a different national market from Robin du Bois.

Others

• Egger (Fritz Egger GmbH & Co. OG): Austrian-headquartered global manufacturer of engineered wood products, laminates and flooring serving the furniture and construction industries. Adjacent rather than directly comparable: a large upstream materials supplier relevant to Robin du Bois's wood procurement rather than a direct competitor.
• Tschopp Holzbau AG:

Direct peers

• Holzbau Amann: Premium German CarpentryMaster (Meisterbetrieb) timber-construction and interior-joinery firm offering custom millwork, parquet and bespoke residential interiors. Comparable artisanal custom-woodworking service model to Robin du Bois, though based across the border in southern Germany rather than the Lake Geneva arc.
• Menuiserie Charvoz: Vaud-based menuiserie-ébéniste providing custom interior fittings, parquet and bespoke furniture. Closely comparable in service mix (carpentry, parquet, fitted storage) and in regional Canton de Vaud / Lake Geneva target market.
• Création Bois Genève: A Geneva-area menuiserie-ébéniste offering custom carpentry, fitted furniture and interior joinery for residential and commercial clients. Directly comparable to Robin du Bois as a regional Swiss-Romande custom joinery workshop competing for the same Lake Geneva architect and private-client projects.
