The LORD NAPIER PUB

2021 LONDON

COMMERCIAL JOINERY 

​​

For the refurbishment of the historic Lord Napier pub in the heart of Hackney Wick, we collaborated with an interior designer to design, manufacture, and install a range of bespoke joinery elements throughout the bar interior.

The works included backbars, waiter stations, under-sink cabinetry, and alcove joinery, all developed in a traditional Victorian-inspired style to complement the character of the building. The pieces incorporate decorative mouldings and carved detailing, combining softwood and plywood construction with features such as textured glass panels and hand-painted mirrors.

The joinery was crafted to balance durability for a busy hospitality environment with the decorative richness typical of historic pub interiors.
