Sala de Despiece is a space created in close collaboration with Mr. Bonet’s team, designed around a simple, fast, raw, and efficient culinary concept.

Sr. Bonet’s culinary concept for Sala de Despiece is a simple and efficient formula that highlights the highest-quality ingredients, prepared with straightforward yet flawless techniques and an original touch. For this reason, the culinary team drew inspiration from the best fish markets, slaughterhouses, and ranches, which served as references for designing the space. Its location on Calle Ponzano, one of Madrid’s classic tapas routes, led to a layout without tables, encouraging informal, standing tasting experiences.


The simple and efficient palette of materials fits with the tight budget of the project: pvc flooring with exposed drains allow for hose down cleaning, white tiling for easy washing, bar and furniture structure made in stainless steel, central table in white polyethylene and, lastly, ceiling and walls’ higher areas are cladded with the same polystyrene boxes used for fresh fish transportation providing good acoustics in the room.

The project starts with a main gesture, an element that crosses the space lengthways, a 10 meter white polyethylene cutting board performs as a quartering slab, cooking countertop, bar and, in one of it ends it becomes the only formal dining table. In the ceiling, slaughterhouse railings with moving hooks offer service to guests and cooks working as a mobile platform for cutlery, product lists, condiments and food.

The general lighting is indirect using the step created in the transition of materials between the tiles and the polystyrene boxes. A white light linear lamp illuminates intensely the bar emphasizing the food while some industrial refrigerator fixtures provide soft light. Finally, in one side of the bar four glazed fridges are lit showing fresh food and drinks. Aligned to these glazed fridges there are two backlit glass cabinets featuring a real scale “montaplex” kind of installation with knives and tools used to cut meat and fish. The set up includes a collection of knives from Cuchillerías Simon, the legendary cutler shop in Madrid.
