Transforming Hospitality Interiors: The Ship Inn by The BOX Furniture
At The BOX Furniture, we specialise in creating high-end bespoke interiors for commercial venues — and our recent project at The Ship Inn in Swansea is a prime example.
From the moment you step inside, every element speaks of craftsmanship, material integrity and unique design.

Crafted for Commercial Impact
In this fit-out, we delivered a striking copper bar, designed and fabricated to complement the warmth of premium timber furniture. Alongside this, our team produced rustic industrial bar racking, seamlessly merging reclaimed or premium materials with steel and patinated finishes to create a distinctive atmosphere. Handcrafted banisters add another dimension of detail and elevate the interior aesthetic.
But what truly stands out are the bespoke live-edge oak tables we built for the space. These tables, each one individually made, capture the beauty of natural timber - organic grain, unique contours and unrivalled presence. In a commercial environment like The Ship Inn, they serve as striking centrepieces that anchor the dining area and enhance the guest experience.

Why Live Edge & Bespoke Furniture Matters in Hospitality
When you furnish a bar, pub or restaurant, standard furniture just doesn’t make the same impression. Custom pieces like live-edge tables convey exclusivity, quality and authenticity. They become part of the brand identity. At The BOX Furniture, we understand that commercial venues require pieces that not only look exceptional but are built to last - with materials, finishes and joinery selected for durability and functionality under frequent use.

From Concept to Delivery
For The Ship Inn, we managed the entire process: design consultation, material sourcing, fabrication in our Swansea workshop, finishing, and installation. Every table and joinery piece was tailored — from size, edge profile and finish to supporting steel or timber bases — ensuring the furniture integrated perfectly into the interior space and met commercial specification requirements.

Your Venue, Bespoke Furniture
Whether you are refurbishing a historic pub, launching a new restaurant or transforming a hospitality space, The BOX Furniture delivers bespoke craftsmanship for commercial projects. From live edge dining tables to full bar joinery and industrial-style racking, we tailor everything to suit your brand, space and usage demands.
