Design and Craftsmanship

Timber and Felt

Each table features a solid timber frame with a rich, dark finish that complements the Card Lounge's evening ambience. The playing surface is covered in premium felt, chosen for its smooth texture and durability.

  • Felt colour is a deep green, reminiscent of classic poker rooms.
  • Timber is locally sourced and finished by hand.
  • The contrast between timber and felt creates a refined look.

The padded rails are upholstered in a soft, durable fabric that invites players to settle in for the evening. The height and angle of the rail are ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue.

  • Rail padding is firm yet comfortable.
  • Armrests are wide enough for natural posture.
  • Chairs are matched to the tables for consistent height.
