Born in Guatemala, Graduated as an architect from Francisco Marroquin University, studied and worked as an apprentice sculpture in Firenze with the artist Armando Basile and in Carrara at Studio di Nicola in Italy.Cofounder with Sandra of Piegatto back in 2006, I work in different felds ranging from architecture where I have designed all sorts of buildings in Guatemala to product design where I create many of the pieces of the collections presented by Piegatto.I believe observation, persistence, simplicity, beauty and good craftsmanship are the most important qualities that an object needs to be created. My designs explore movement and ergonomics as the central points that when well executed serve to create a unique piece that will add beauty to a space, comfort to their users and a sense of nature, as every piece evokes where we came from and what surrounds us.I'm building a legacy, where my footsteps are just the start to create a world brand that the next generations will follow with their own creativity and knowledge to create joy and happiness to the people that trust in our products.

Design DirectorPiegatto Jan 2008 - May 2024Piegatto (fold, origami, cat...) is an integral concept that joins architecture, art and design through the use of Parametric Design. In 2006 we decided that we needed a shift in our approach to design trough technology. Without knowing exactly where this would take us, we invested in CNC technology. This affected instantly in the way we used materials for our projects. Exactitude, new ways to approach a solution, quality and great solutions are presented to our clients in architecture, art and furniture. -
