Bongó Bar Cabinet

The Bongó bar cabinet was designed to transform the act of enjoying a drink into an experience of unparalleled luxury. Like the echo of a drum, the bar cabinet unique musical shape reverberates throughout any room.
 
The elegant and seductive drum shape of the cabinet along with its impressive sliding Sahara Noir marble doors meant that the overall structure, mechanisms, and material applications had to be aligned with the latest technological developments. As our team accepted the challenge, we were able to create an outstanding cabinet that provides a unique, luxurious, and innovative sensory experience.
 
Marked by a round structure lacquered in champagne-colored bronze powder, it contrasts with the cabinet interiors in walnut veneer and Patagonia granite. The semicircular sliding doors in Sahara Noir marble are automatically activated by touch, movement, or wireless remote control. With automatic light switches, the doors open to reveal the Patagonia Granite stone texture shine from within.
 
Being brass an ally very much used in musical instruments, and being Bongó inspired my one named itself, it was the right material choice to accompany the Sahara Noir marble doors and contrast with its deep dark color and its beautiful veins. As a highly malleable material, it meant that we could imprint in Bongó's physical expression a totally manual signature.
 
The choice of materials, construction, and execution in the Bongó making, represents the finest in quality when it comes to combining modern production methods with expert craftsmanship.

A special state of the art sliding door mechanism was developed by Greenapple and tailored specifically for Bongó to assure a safe and smooth handling of the Sahara Noir stone doors. Motion and pressure detection sensors located within hand's reach were added in order to deliver a full experience of an automated door opening. Because each design component is carefully designed to deliver an exclusive experience, the sliding doors are made to fit, down to the millimeter, leaving no mismatches nor awkward gaps between mating parts.
 
An imposing and elegant piece with glamourous lines, Bongó features different types of finishes with the same unique characteristics that evoke an irreverent and distinct personality.
