Spotlight on The Ocellus Leather Mini Bar

From garden cocktails to countryside picnics, an iconic OKA design returns. Thoughtfully designed, the portable drinks cabinet brings elegance and practicality to every outdoor (or indoor) gathering. Made from soft leather with plaited handles and lined in our iconic Ocellus print, it opens to reveal a carefully considered interior that is as practical as it is beautiful. 

Inspired by an original OKA archive design and rooted in our philosophy of designing to live well, the much-loved piece has been reintroduced with added functionality. Inside, you’ll find everything needed to serve drinks with ease: a flask, hip flask with shot glasses, alongside tumblers, Champagne coolers, ice tongs, a corkscrew and bottle opener. A dedicated section safely houses champagne flutes in transit, while a discreet pull-out tray allows the fold-down front to sit level, transforming it into a practical mini tabletop — ensuring drinks stay perfectly upright, wherever you choose to gather. 

Sue’s Perspective

“Entertaining has always been at the heart of OKA, and we wanted to create something that captures that essence beyond the home. Our Ocellus print has truly proved itself as a pattern, and it’s so exciting to see it make its debut in our outdoor entertaining collection, not to mention the adventures it might have, travelling from picnic to picnic in the back of car boots. It’s a perfect combination of design, craftsmanship and practicality.”

A Motif That Travels

The Ocellus print began as a single textile sample and has since evolved into one of our most recognisable designs. Inspired by the gentle rhythm of peacock feathers, its repeating motif brings texture and visual depth – a pattern that feels both decorative and enduring. Lining the interior of the Mini Bar, the Ocellus print adds an unexpected moment of detail each time it’s opened, reinforcing the idea that practicality and beauty should always coexist.

Designed to Live Well

Created with longevity in mind, the mini bar is designed to become a modern heirloom – a piece that brings a sense of occasion to outdoor entertaining year after year. Compact and portable, it adapts naturally; a picnic, a day at the races, or Wimbledon all feel like fitting moments.

As the seasons change, it transitions just as seamlessly indoors, ready for impromptu gatherings or as a quietly striking feature beside the dining table.

A Thoughtful Gift

A considered gift for those who appreciate timeless design and lasting materials, the mini bar balances form and function beautifully. Pair with one of our coasters, the Emsworth Cocktail Shaker, or pieces from our glassware collection to create a gift that feels effortlessly personal.

Whether used at home or on the move, the Ocellus Leather Mini Bar brings a refined sense of occasion to every gathering.
