French term or phrase: menuiserie d'art
This is for a architect/interior designer's workshop- this company creates staircases, furniture, and other decor items. However, I am a little lost as to what is "menuiserie d'art" compared to "menuiserie". I am tempted to go with joinery rather than cabinet work, but not sure... any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Here is an example of the term in context:

Plus qu’un atelier de menuiserie d’art, l’entreprise et son bureau d’études sont capables de prendre en charge des projets d’envergure de la conception à la réalisation.
