The Art & design object is the result of understanding the Clients emotion about his childhood experience of fabricating his own toys, researching the history of Traditional Guatemalan toys and 1940’s kids practice of fabricating their own Kinetic toys. During post war era, kids would utilize residual packaging materials such as glass, wood spools, and wood pencils to create yoyos, spinners and capiruchos ( cup & ball toy variation).

The Client’s favorite toy was the Capirucho made of Wood Spools. The Side Table is made of handcrafted wood.

Fabrizio Constanza Design is a multidisciplinary studio working at the intersection of functional art, industrial design, and spatial thinking. With a practice that spans over two decades, the studio has developed a distinct voice rooted in the exploration of time, material honesty, and the emotional resonance of objects within human environments.

Founded by Guatemalan artist and designer Fabrizio Constanza, the studio challenges conventional boundaries between utility and expression. Its body of work ranges from collectible furniture and sculptural pieces to architectural and consulting projects, each guided by a philosophy that prioritizes longevity, craftsmanship, and cultural continuity over trends and mass production.

At the core of the studio’s approach is a commitment to regenerative design principles—seeking not only to reduce harm but also to actively contribute to more balanced relationships among people, resources, and the built environment. This perspective is reflected in a deep respect for traditional techniques and local craftsmanship, often collaborating with master artisans in carpentry, metalwork, and glass to create pieces that embody both precision and narrative depth.

Rather than relying on industrial excess, Fabrizio Constanza Design embraces a slower, more intentional process. Each project is conceived as a dialogue between past and future—drawing from historical knowledge, personal memory, and contemporary challenges such as climate change and responsible production. The result is work that feels both timeless and urgent.

The studio’s creations have been exhibited internationally and are held in private collections across Europe and the Americas. Its award-winning portfolio includes numerous international design recognitions, affirming its position as one of the leading voices in contemporary Latin American design.

Through its work, Fabrizio Constanza Design continues to advocate for a shift in how objects are conceived, produced, and valued—encouraging a move toward durability, meaning, and a more conscious relationship with the material world.
