Red Bank History, Built Into the Room.
UAF finished this commercial space using direct-to-surface wall printing, hand-built mahogany, and custom display work.
Location
Red Bank, New Jersey
Scope
Wall printing, finish carpentry, custom signage
Surface
Existing vertical-groove wood paneling
Stickball on Monmouth Street.
The central mural combines period storefront framing, neighborhood stickball, and Elsie’s-branded uniforms. It was printed directly across the existing vertical-groove wall paneling, binding ink to wood to preserve the room's character while creating a window into the town's past.

Ink binding permanently to the vertical-groove substrate.
Controlled delivery on complex textures.
UAF printed the scene directly across the paneled wood, curing the ink as the printer traveled over the vertical-groove surface. The finished image retains crisp edges while allowing the wall's existing texture to remain visible.
Craftsmanship
Built to finish the room.
UAF built the full-width mahogany valance from mahogany square stock and plywood. UAF then routed replacement bottom molding to match the valance’s edge profile, carrying the same line above and below the printed wall.

A unified visual language.
The project extended to other surfaces in the dining room. A custom mahogany shelf was built to support the physical LEGO statue, and the adjacent wall graphic evolved from a small print to a full construction scene.

Menu and exterior signage.
UAF printed a multi-panel menu system for clear ordering information inside the shop. Outside, Elsie’s-branded A-frame signage carried the same project identity to the sidewalk and street.
