Commercial Projects
At Mark Gates Furniture, we work with businesses, hospitality venues, and commercial spaces to create bespoke, handcrafted furniture that is built to last and designed to fit seamlessly into its surroundings.
Every project is made to order and crafted with the same care and attention as our residential pieces.
The Canal House – Canal-Side Pub, Birmingham
We were pleased to work with The Canal House, a popular canal-side pub in Birmingham, supplying custom-made dining tables designed specifically for a busy hospitality environment.
For this project, we created bespoke tables with pedestal bases, allowing for flexible seating while maintaining a clean, timeless look throughout the space. The bases were finished in Farrow & Ball “Breakfast Room Green”, adding character and complementing the pub’s interior beautifully.
Built for durability as well as style, these tables were designed to handle high daily footfall while enhancing the atmosphere of a welcoming, social setting.
Rob Roy – Boutique Accommodation, Berwick-upon-Tweed
We were thrilled to work with the beautiful Rob Roy – Boutique Accommodation to create custom desks and bathroom cabinets that complement their elegant, welcoming interiors.
Each piece was handcrafted specifically for the space, ensuring it not only looked right but stood up to the demands of a busy hospitality environment. The finished furniture blends seamlessly into the hotel’s design, adding character while remaining practical and robust for everyday use.
This project is a great example of how bespoke furniture can enhance a guest experience — subtle, functional, and thoughtfully designed to suit the setting.
Aylett Nurseries Coffee Shop, St Albans
We recently had the pleasure of delivering a set of handcrafted tables and benches to the coffee shop at Aylett Nurseries in St Albans.
Designed and built specifically for a busy hospitality setting, these pieces were made from solid wood with durability and comfort in mind, while still creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for customers to relax and enjoy their visit.
The finished furniture adds character to the space and complements the café’s welcoming feel — the perfect setting for coffee, conversation, and time spent together.
If you’re visiting Aylett Nurseries, stop by the coffee shop and see our work in action.
