Estudio Caribe's goal is to preserve the art of carpentry using artisan techniques with an added touch of creativity. Cecilia Bolio and Rodolfo Morales, both work and life partners, have been designing and creating furniture and objects out of solid wood in their studio since 2015. They also collaborate on interior design and manufacturing projects.
The pair works for clients in a wide variety of industries including architecture, design, hospitality, and projects for the general public. They also have a line of utilitarian objects made of joined wood that they sell in Mexico City, where the studio is located. However, their products can be found in many other cities throughout Mexico and in other countries like the United States, Spain, Switzerland and even Kuwait.
