FÁBRICA’s work unites current manufacturing technologies, age-old craft techniques and unconventional materials such as horse reins and jute sacks for upholstery; tire tube for leather; marbles as a ball bearing system, etc. Because the objects the studio makes need different skills and materials, a diversity of ethnic groups and craftsmanship are working together under one roof to create a new object in the hope it will capture Guatemala’s present-day’s spirit.
Ana González and Hubert Schoba, both Architects, started FÁBRICA a small multidisciplinary design studio located in a house, in the historical heart of Guatemala at the end of 2010.
