Fitted Furniture
As we have both design and manufacturing in house at Monarú, we have the ability to develop bespoke projects and manage them from start to finish. We design all our bespoke projects in 3D CAD packages, produce them with CNC routers and expertly fit them to millimeter precision.

We developed and produced the tables, coffee counter, display areas, serving trays, menu boards and planters for this bustling cafe in the centre of Limerick City.
All of the furniture is produced from Phenolic Faced Birch plywood. This plywood is normally used for creating bespoke formwork and creates a strong utilitarian feel within the space. As the phenolic is not adhesive friendly, we developed a finger jointing system that hides the fixings using custom made red acrylic plugs creating a stitch-like aesthetic on all the furniture joints.
