Step inside a neighbourhood replenishment bar designed by Bone Studio and located at the Canal House in Al Wasl
Onda, a homegrown and Emirati-owned bar designed by Bone Studio, introduces a dynamic spatial topography that transforms the dining experience through varied elevations that ensure a discreet yet impactful presence is maintained. The design features a series of deep red and striking leather sofas by Living Divani, forming a continuous seating arrangement that provides a comprehensive view of the dining area, evoking a cosy yet luxurious feel. Platforms covered in leathered Irish Green Stone add tactile richness, while walls and volumes crafted from warm cherry wood offer a harmonious contrast.
This choice of materials seamlessly blends natural elements with bold aesthetics, creating a sophisticated ambiance. A luminous curtain backdrop behind the bar evokes a theatrical atmosphere, adding depth and intrigue to the space. The meticulously crafted lighting strategy by Fabraca Studios integrates illumination within fibreglass planters, casting a soft glow that enhances the bar platform and other key areas.
This thoughtful lighting design not only highlights the architectural features but also adds a natural layer of warmth and intimacy to the environment. Named after the Spanish word for ‘wave’, Onda presents a space that is evocative of Bone Studio’s design philosophy of conceiving spaces that elicit a dialogue through architectural gestures, sensorial earthy materiality and detailing.
The spatial arrangement ensures each customer enjoys a unique perspective, with seating at different elevations creating a dynamic and engaging dining environment. Onda’s design celebrates the interplay of light, material and elevation, offering an immersive and inviting experience that is both playful and refined.
