The bar descends into raw stone, walls of exposed rock, lit from below, framing a counter of backlit onyx that glows amber in the dark. This is not a space that borrows from nature. It is built from it. 

Into this environment, Joana Santos Barbosa placed the Arches bar stool in black lacquered wood, with polished brass detailing and upholstered in smooth mustard velvet. Its structured frame and precise joinery hold their own against the weight of the stone surrounding it, elegant craft set against raw material. Handcrafted in Portugal and designed by Joana Santos Barbosa, the Arches was designed for exactly this kind of interior, where the setting is dramatic and the furniture is required to match it.
