Cuisines Morel Bretagne

What they make

According to their website, Cuisines Morel Bretagne is part of the Morel group, a French manufacturer of custom kitchens, dressings, bathroom furniture, and TV/living-room units, founded in 1932 in Haute-Savoie by Joseph Morel; leadership passed to Stéphane Treboux in 1998, working alongside the founder's grandson. Production takes place in two workshops, in Haute-Savoie and in Brittany (Maen Roch), with a third site under development in Gironde; a competing Breton manufacturer, Cuisines Jean-Louis Morel, was absorbed into the group in 2012. Furniture is made to order rather than stocked, moving through machining, edge-banding, drilling, fitting, assembly, quality checks and packaging for each individual project. Quality has carried NF certification since 1978, with annual audits, and cabinets use Blum slides and hinges backed by a 20-year guarantee. Finishing is done with water-based, solvent-free lacquers and varnishes, and some wooden handles are hand-sanded. Its Fleurs kitchen line is built from panels containing plant-based resin, which the company says lowers the panels' carbon footprint by about 30%. The company sells through a network of showrooms across France.
