Construction workers used to build a small stool made with 4 or 5 pieces of wood. Its shape and size can vary slightly, but it's always something simple, basic and crude.

Manolito is a reinterpretation, a synthesis of these objects led to the domestic sphere. The result is a very simple object without a clear function. It is a small bookcase unit, a stool, a small table, or a step to easily reach higher areas.

Joc de Tamborets is both a wood sample collection and a construction game. It consists of 8 scaled-down stools, each a caricature of its original design: including Manolito, Kamanar, Tripo, Taco, ATA and 3MO.

All of them have been rescaled and adjusted to a modular ratio, encouraging the creation of balanced structures, much like a construction game.

It also serves as a showcase of the most commonly used woods in my projects, featuring varieties such as pine, ash, cherry, beech, iroko, koto and oak.

Year: 2018, for Foundawtion.

Foundawtion is a non-profit organization that carries out vernacular projects to address architectural needs in economically disadvantaged areas. CEM Kamanar, led by the Daw Office architecture studio, is the first project of this foundation: a school for more than 500 high school students in Thionck Essyl, a village in the Casamance area, south of Senegal.

This manual is a project in collaboration with Bendita Gloria for the foundation. More than the result of the work done, these pages contain everything that was necessary for the manufacture of the furniture collection designed for the CEM Kamanar school.

A collection that has sought the most optimal relationship between efficiency and comfort, prioritizing making things as easy as possible for each stage of the process: from design, material selection, construction, and/or maintenance.

The school in operation in 2020.

Throughout the design and manufacturing period of all the furniture, workshops and related projects were carried out to raise funds and promote the project.

A good example is L'Art de Construir, a workshop organized by Ester Rovira and in collaboration with Claudia Valsells. During a week and with a group of more than 20 children, more than 30 chairs from the collection were manufactured and painted.
