A Historic Venue Meets Modern Woodwork
The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater is one of Miami Beach’s most iconic venues. Known for its cultural legacy and timeless architecture, it has hosted generations of artists and audiences since the 1950s. When The Fillmore set out to update its public areas, it sought a partner that could deliver custom woodwork that enhanced the venue’s functionality while honoring its historic charm.
That’s where Lignum came in—with a focus on woodwork for entertainment venues, we worked closely with the theater’s team and top designers to bring their vision to life.
Custom Vendor Stations That Make a Statement
One of the central goals of this project was to design and fabricate twelve custom vendor stations that would serve thousands of guests attending concerts and events each year. Each station needed to be highly functional for staff while also aligning with the sophisticated visual identity of the venue.
We incorporated modern materials like metal laminate, mesh panels, and backlit acrylic features to give each unit a sleek, contemporary look. These elements complemented the theater’s Art Deco architecture while adding durability and ease of maintenance.
Reception Desk: A Stunning Welcome Experience
The reception area serves as a guest’s first point of contact—setting the tone for the entire venue experience. For The Fillmore, we designed a custom reception desk that combines rich wood finishes with cutting-edge materials. Backlighting and metallic details brought warmth and elegance to the space, creating a welcoming impression that aligned with the venue’s elevated brand.
Collaborative Design, Lasting Results
Our team collaborated closely with stakeholders from The Fillmore, Crescent Heights, Menin Hotels, and leading Miami-based designers. This collaborative approach ensured the result was a perfect marriage of creativity and craftsmanship.
The results speak for themselves. Our custom commercial woodwork transformed The Fillmore into a space that blends function and artistry. Guests and vendors alike have responded positively to the upgrades, and the project has strengthened Lignum’s position as a trusted partner in commercial millwork solutions throughout South Florida.

Why It Matters
In high-traffic environments like concert venues, custom commercial woodwork must balance durability, function, and design. According to a 2023 industry report by DesignCurated, venues that invest in premium millwork see a 22% increase in guest satisfaction scores.
At Lignum, we understand these stakes. That’s why we use only top-quality materials, collaborate with expert fabricators, and follow a detail-driven process to deliver results that last.
