Gilbert Vuagniaux
Gilbert built his first wooden boat at five, his first stepping stool at eight, and his first go-cart at ten. From his earliest years, woodworking was engrained in Gilbert's psyche, and his passion for the craft only grew in the following years.
The late 1970s found Gilbert enrolling in Switzerland's most meticulous wood-working school, the prestigious Ecole Des Metiers in Lausanne. It was here that Gilbert learned to master his art, and it was here that he would go on to to graduate with the highest honors.
Since his relocation to the United States in 1988, Gilbert has been busy honing his talent on both client projects and personal endeavors, such as restoring his own Victorian "Painted Lady" to its original luster, although most of his time is spent managing Swiss Build Space, which specializes in custom cabinetry work and the restoration of old homes.
It gives Gilbert great joy to bring the fine craftsmanship of Swiss precision, extreme attention to detail, and European tradition to your home. He proudly lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Patricia, and their three children.
