Master joiner in the workshop
About

Forty years. Three generations.

Founded in 1987 by Hans Mustermann. Today run by Tobias and Erika Mustermann. The workshop sits in Musterort, west of Samplecity — here 14 journeymen, one master and two apprentices have built everything that can be made from wood for 37 years. Nothing is outsourced.

The story

Three generations, one workshop.

Hans Mustermann trained with a furniture maker in Musterpassau, moved to Samplecity in 1985 and opened his own workshop in 1987 — at first in a rented double garage in Musterort. Three years later the workshop had outgrown the garage; we moved to today’s Musterstraße, where we still sit.

In 1994 Heinrich added interior fit-out. An architect friend was looking for a workshop that could deliver whole-room concepts under one roof — built-in wardrobes, wall paneling, acoustic ceilings, plank floors. Heinrich took it on. Since then furniture and fit-out have come out of the same hall.

In 2018 Heinrich and Anna Mustermann handed the business to their sons Tobias and Martin. Both first learned the joinery trade, then studied business. Heinrich still works three days a week — as the senior restoration hand.

Philosophy

We build what lasts.

We don’t build what finishes fastest — we build what lasts longest. That means traceable materials, repairable joints, surfaces without solvents, installation by our own crew.

And: no secrets. Anyone who asks to see the workshop sees the workshop. Anyone who asks where the wood comes from gets the sawmill named. Anyone who wants to know how we cost a job sees the line on the quote.

„You spot good joinery by how unremarkable it is — until you live with it for a lifetime.“

About us

Where we started.

Founded in 1987 by Hans Mustermann — three journeymen, a small workshop on the edge of town, one band-saw, one plane, and more orders than shelf space. What we built was honest and simple: tables, chairs, a shelf here, a cabinet there. Forty years later not much has changed — except the machines.

Engagement

Apprenticeship and inclusion.

We train two apprentices every year. The workshop is a registered training company of the Samplecity chamber of crafts — four former apprentices are journeymen with us today, one holds the master certificate and leads workshop operations.

Alongside, we run an integration workshop at the Musterort site with three positions for people with disabilities — in partnership with Lebenshilfe Samplecity since 2014. Two colleagues from that programme are now full-time employees.

From the workshop

"We build furniture that outlasts us."

What our clients say.

  • 18 months in — not a single flaw. The joints hold better than our old IKEA kitchen did after three weeks.

    Sabine W. Musterort
  • The attic built-in sits in the slope to the millimetre. Craft you barely find today.

    Helmut R. Client, Musterort
  • The hotel fit-out for 42 rooms ran like clockwork. On time, clear communication, top quality.
