Articuir Sàrl – Bell foundry and leather workshop in Cuarnens, preserving Swiss traditions since 1914 Since 1914, Articuir Sàrl has been crafting bells, cowbells and leather straps in Cuarnens for local societies, farmers, companies and private clients across the region. Originally a family-run saddlery and now operating as a limited liability company, the workshop carries on a genuine Vaudois craftsmanship along the Venoge while adapting to today’s needs for gifts, ceremonies and personalised objects. Main services: • Handcrafted bells and cowbells with leather straps • Personalised bell straps (pyrography, embroidery, painting) • Small bells and cowbells for associations, companies, competitions and awards • Leather belts and accessories for gifts or professional use • Engraving and creation of plaques, awards and special inscriptions • Custom-made creations for weddings, jubilees, apprenticeships and events Articuir draws on more than a century of leather tradition and long-standing collaboration with Swiss bell founders to offer strong, precise and durable pieces. Each bell and each strap is made with care, from the design to the final finish, respecting the client's request, the style of local societies and the identity of companies offering these pieces as gifts. Close to its customers, the workshop advises on models, motifs and finishes (bell shapes, strap widths, decorations, texts, logos). The goal is always the same: to deliver a meaningful object rooted in the Swiss bell tradition, while reflecting the identity of the person, family or society receiving it. Whether it is to equip a herd, celebrate an achievement or thank a collaborator, Articuir supports each project with an artisanal and flexible approach. Based in Cuarnens, the company serves the entire region from La Sarraz to Cossonay and Morges, as well as the surrounding villages. Thanks to its strong local presence, knowledge of regional societies and on-site production workshop, Articuir is a trusted partner for anyone looking for high-quality bells, cowbells and leather straps made in French-speaking Switzerland.

Who I am I’m an independent craftsman specialized in interior renovation in the canton of Vaud. My commitment: quality first — clean finishes, on-time delivery, and clear communication. I personally handle the site visit, the quote, the supervision, and the handover so every detail counts. What I do Kitchens I design and renovate functional and aesthetic kitchens: • layout plans (L, U, island) and storage optimization, • fronts, worktops, splashbacks (glass, ceramic, laminate), • LED lighting, integration of built-in appliances, • electrical & plumbing adjustments, finishing and sealing. Bathrooms & toilets I transform bathrooms with a focus on waterproofing and durability: • walk-in showers, bathtubs, wall-hung toilets, vanity units, • tiled niches, efficient ventilation, anti-slip surfaces, • slopes/drainage management, towel radiators, suitable lighting. Mezzanines & re-layout I create mezzanines and reorganize space to gain volume and light: • removal/opening of partitions, lintels and reinforcements, • sliding doors, industrial-style glass partitions, built-in storage, • compliant guardrails, compact access (stairs/ladders). Floor/wall finishes I install durable materials with attention to detail: • tiling/ceramics (incl. large formats), • parquet/laminate (AC4/AC5), skirtings, • interior paints, fillers, wallpapers, • low-VOC products, straight joints, protection and final cleaning. Plastering, insulation, custom joinery • partitions, linings, suspended ceilings, • thermal & acoustic insulation, cold-bridge corrections, • custom joinery, door installation, trim adjustments. Light electrical & plumbing adaptations • replacement of fittings, lights, spots, sockets, • plumbing adaptations (taps, traps, supply/drain lines) to secure the renovation. My method (quality first) • Visit & advice: I listen, survey, measure, and propose tailored solutions. • Clear, free quote: precise description, quantities, options, schedule. • Personal supervision: a single point of contact — me — from start to finish. • Neat finishes: protection of traffic areas, site cleanliness, quality control at each stage. • Occupied-site work: dust control, dedicated zones, flexible hours, respect for neighbors and shared areas.
