Marine and coastal furniture by Protocol: Designed for Cruise Liners

Marine and coastal furniture plays a pivotal role in complementing the stunning seascapes and luxurious interiors of cruise liners. From sun-soaked decks to elegant dining areas, furniture on cruise ships must withstand the unique challenges of a marine environment while maintaining its sophisticated visual appeal. At Protocol, they specialise in furniture that achieves this balance, with products like the Artu S Extra DeluxeBow 2Sweetly P and Cosmo MP.1772  – crafted from resilient fabrics and durable materials such as steel and wood.

Designing spaces to reflect coastal elegance

Cruise liners demand furniture that harmonises with their nautical surroundings. The design, colour palettes, and textures should evoke the serene elegance of the sea while offering functionality and resilience.

  • Neutral and Earthy Tones: Reflect the calming hues of sand, water, and sky.
  • Natural Textures: Materials like teak and woven fabrics echo the organic elements of oceanic landscapes.
  • Elegant Lines: Provide a sense of sophistication that complements the clean, open spaces aboard luxury cruise ships.

Protecting furniture from harsh marine conditions

Cruise ship furniture faces relentless exposure to sun, salt air, and humidity. To ensure long-lasting beauty, furniture must be crafted with materials and finishes designed to endure these elements.

  • UV-Resistant Finishes: Prevent fading and discoloration caused by intense sunlight on outdoor decks.
  • Corrosion-resistant metals: Stainless steel and aluminium with protective coatings combat the effects of salt and moisture.
  • Weatherproof fabrics: Water-repellent and mould-resistant materials keep upholstery looking fresh and inviting.

Effortless maintenance for lasting elegance

Onboard cruise ships, furniture should be easy to maintain, allowing staff to keep spaces pristine with minimal effort. Protocol’s innovative materials and finishes simplify cleaning and care:

  • Stain-resistant surfaces: Perfect for high-traffic areas like dining rooms and lounges.
  • Easy-to-clean fabrics: Quick wipe-downs restore furniture to its original beauty.
  • Protective covers: Extend the lifespan of outdoor furniture during off-seasons or extreme weather conditions.

Comfort without compromise

While durability is a cornerstone of marine and coastal furniture, ensuring safety is non-negotiable. At Protocol, they understand the critical balance required to enhance guest comfort with ergonomic designs while meeting stringent safety and durability standards.

Protocol’s flame-retardant materials not only provide luxurious comfort but also align with internationally recognised regulations, such as the IMO’s FTP Code. Speak with Protocol’s experts to explore compliant solutions that prioritise safety without compromising on style or usability.

At Protocol, they are proud to partner with a network of International suppliers helping you make informed decisions from a broad spectrum of products. Marine and coastal furniture should be as inspiring as the views they frame and they’re here to help you create breath taking spaces.
