Archipel expands DEGLAN’s acclaimed Boulder series into new architectural territory. Where the Boulder works distilled the quiet force of solitary geological forms, this monumental high-top bar imagines an archipelago; multiple masses rising from a shared terrain, defined as much by their separation as their union. Its shifting profiles create a landscape of peaks, recesses, and plateaus, inviting people to gather, circulate, and inhabit its contours.

Hand-sculpted from a solid wooden core, the form is shaped using electric tools before being refined meticulously by hand, building an unusually tactile surface architecture. Successive layers of marble and lime plaster are applied and sanded back, revealing subtle tonal striations reminiscent of weathered stone and eroded coastlines. A final water-resistant seal lends quiet luminosity and ensures durability in hospitality environments.

At bar height, Archipel introduces a new scale of presence - part sculptural terrain, part social anchor. Its asymmetry disrupts the expected rectilinear language of interior architecture, fostering movement, conversation, and pause. It stands as a natural monolith reimagined for contemporary ritual: a place where people gather, perch, lean, and linger.
