The Bespoke Bar Unit For Josmo Studio

Commissioned by: Josmo Studio, Goa

Completion Year: 2023

Execution Timeline: 5 Weeks

 

 

"A bespoke bar unit that challenged our craftsmanship and precision — turning vision into a one-of-a-kind reality."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bar unit was commissioned to us by Josmo Studio, Goa, as an additional feature to their furniture package for the Cecil Larimar project. While compact in its footprint, this bar became a unique exploration of materials, techniques, and execution within a tight delivery timeline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key Highlights:

1. Solid Wood Bending & Cane Application

A rare execution where we experimented successfully with bending Solid European White Oakwood combined with Malaysian Rattan (Cane) work in the shutter panels — resulting in seamless curved corners and organic detailing.

2. Dual Side Design:

Front Side: Functional PU-finished shutter panels for access.
Back Side: Dummy shutter panels maintaining visual continuity without adding operational complexity.

3. Materiality & Finishes:

4. On-site Detailing:

The marble countertop was supplied and installed by the site management team, ensuring perfect integration with the built-up site conditions.

Execution Challenges & Milestones:

- Complex curves achieved with solid wood bending.

- Seamless cane integration in shutter panels.

- Quick execution & delivery within 5 weeks post-final design approval.

- Built-in sensor-operated lighting.

- Bespoke shelving for barware functionality and aesthetic appeal.

"Some projects are not about scale but about the purity of craftsmanship, the challenges of material behavior, and the joy of creating something singular."
