JVais Caennais designs and builds premium Normandy-style timber structures, bespoke oak cabinetry, and French wood libraries in Malaysia. We combine classic European joins with climate-resilient timber treatments.
Our workshop follows old-world French joinery traditions, framing structures with oak dowels and mortise-and-tenon connections.
We avoid modern nails and metal brackets. Every joint is hand-cut and pinned using traditional wooden dowels, allowing timbers to move naturally and prevent warping over decades.
We source seasoned oak logs directly from sustainable forests in Normandy, France. The timber is dried for at least 18 months to stabilize its moisture profile before carving.
Every wooden element is treated with natural oils and organic anti-termite mixtures, preparing French hardwoods to withstand Southeast Asia's high humidity profiles.
