In Barcelona, David Sandoval designs and produces a complete bespoke furniture collection for Jazminos Restaurant — solid ash wood tables, stools and benches assembled through precise glued joinery.
There is a discipline to Jazminos. The restaurant designed by Pensi Pascual in Barcelona commissioned David Sandoval, a carpenter whose practice is built around bespoke solid wood furniture, to produce its entire furniture collection from scratch. The result sits somewhere between utility and careful thought: tables, stools, and benches that share a material vocabulary without repeating themselves, conceived together rather than assembled from a catalog.
Every piece is crafted from solid ash and assembled through precise glued joinery. The choice is deliberate. Ash carries its own visual logic, with grain patterns that shift across a surface in ways that machine-made materials cannot replicate, and the glued construction means there are no fasteners interrupting the planes. What you see is wood behaving as wood, not wood performing as something else.
The Arab cultural influences that inform the collection do not announce themselves through ornament or motif. They surface instead in proportion and rhythm, in the balance Sandoval maintains between pieces that feel solid without feeling heavy. Repetition and variation across the range create continuity through the dining room while allowing each element to address its own functional requirement. The stools carry slightly different proportions than the benches; the tables respond to how people actually gather. The collection operates as a coherent spatial language, with individual words rather than a single repeated phrase.
