Timber floors and walls specified for London bar

A Victorian Woodworks product story

Edited by the Interiorstalk editorial team Jan 26, 2010

Victorian Woodworks has specified a variation of timber for the floors and walls of The Parlour bar, Drake and Morgan's second site, in Canary Wharf, London.

The Parlour features a handmade chandelier of spoons, spatulas, ladles and lights in a playful take on a design classic.

For the floors, Reclaimed Silvertown Pine was chosen, as not only is it an attractive timber, but it is hard wearing and will meet the demands of a heavily trafficked commercial environment.

There is also a secret-garden-inspired lounge with wicker hanging chairs, timber panelling and soft banquette seating.

There are a selection of high wooden tables and circular booths, a wine room and an alfresco terrace.

Timber floors and walls are designed to create a blend of colours and textures.

For the floors, Reclaimed Silvertown Pine was chosen, as not only is it an attractive timber, but it is hard wearing and will meet the demands of a heavily trafficked commercial environment.

In contrast, Reclaimed Desert Oak was used for the wall cladding.

Creating a surface reminiscent of weathered boards, the inherent knots and splits are intended to give the interior of the building a rugged character.
