Reference: Definition of casework Reference information: "What is Casework? ... "If you’re doing your homework before you invest in custom furniture or custom made cabinetry, you may have encountered descriptions of sample pieces that specify who did the casework for the project, particularly if you’re looking at a home remodel where multiple artisans may have been involved. Although you might not find the term “casework” in every description of furniture or cabinetry, unless an article of furniture was fashioned from a single block of material, rest assured that casework most certainly went into its construction. Casework, simply defined, refers to either the “aggregate assembled parts” that make up a furniture carcase or cabinet (in other words, the cabinets and cases themselves) or the techniques used to make sure those “aggregate assembled parts” stay securely assembled." As can be seen from the above, "casework" is subtly different from (though it comes under) "cabinetmaking", and it isn't simply "menuiserie" or "ébénisterie". It's possible that there is no equivalent term in French. https://www.custommade.com/blog/what-is-casework/ |
