Mancala Bar

The elongated form is structured between two rounded ends, creating a continuous body in which the shape curves back on itself. On the top surface, the circular elements introduce a sense of rhythm and position, similar to dots arranged in a precise sequence.

The reference to play emerges without being literal. It is present in the organization of the volumes, in the alternation between full and empty spaces, and in the way each detail seems to occupy a specific place within the composition.

The piece has a solid yet controlled presence. The central opening lightens the volume, while the curved sides stabilize the design and reinforce the idea of an architectural object. The stone placed on the top surface adds density and transforms the detail into a functional element.  

“Mancala” shifts the focus from the bar cabinet to an experience of slow reading. A functional, graphic, and discreet form, in which the decorative element serves a functional purpose.
