Wall Paneling designed, built and installed for Manhattan — pre-war buildings that are never square and boards that decide the schedule. Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough.
In New York, panelling earns its place twice over. It gives a room the proportion that pre-war architecture assumed and later renovations stripped out, and it hides the fact that the wall behind it is neither flat nor plumb. It can also carry storage and jib doors inside a single continuous surface, which in an apartment where every inch counts is the most useful thing joinery can do.
Pre-war apartments are out of square, out of plumb and rarely level. Every run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and nothing is fabricated off a plan alone.
Co-op and condo boards run the job. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates, approved contractors, permitted work hours, elevator bookings and a building engineer signing off — all of it precedes the first delivery, and none of it is negotiable. We build the schedule around the building's rules.
Everything has to fit a passenger or service lift and turn in a pre-war corridor. Cabinets are sized to be carried, and anything that will not fit is engineered to assemble on site.
This is the constant. Wherever the job is, a wall paneling from us is put together this way.
Panelling is the quietest thing we make and the one that changes a room most. It gives a wall proportion, hides the joins where a house is not square, and carries doors, storage and lighting inside a single continuous surface — but only if it is set out properly, because a panel grid that misses its openings is worse than a plain wall.
Panel joints are planned to land on door openings, corners and switch positions rather than wherever the module falls.
Jib doors, cupboards and services can disappear into the panelling so the wall reads as one surface.
Three different registers for three different rooms — the choice is made against the architecture, not against a trend.

We work throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Tribeca, the West Village, the Upper West Side and Chelsea. The housing here is pre-war co-ops and condominiums, converted loft buildings downtown, and townhouses across the older districts, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
Book a free 30-minute consultation with a designer who works in Manhattan every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
