Vertical Rhythm in Horizontal
The commission was to design a wooden mural for the restaurant EFE 7, whose identity is deeply connected to fire, charcoal, and the grill. In response, we chose to work with the polín—a square timber section commonly used in construction—and to transform it through diagonal cuts and the technique of carbonizing. In this way, the material and its finish echo the processes of combustion that define the restaurant’s culinary spirit.
Starting from the square section of the polín, we designed a system that allows it to be cut into six variations per side. This produces a total of twelve variants per piece. When confronted with one another across the mural, the possibilities multiply: the combination and arrangement of the modules generate 144 potential readings.
The result is a dynamic mural that is constantly transformed. Its rhythmic, volumetric pattern never appears the same: it shifts with the light and the viewer’s position, unfolding as a tridimensional tapestry of shadows, highlights, and geometric sequences.
