We came across Lábrica’s work while in Guatemala checking out the Simbiótica exhibition and immediately loved their work. The family-owned company works with traditional craftsman in Santa Lucia Milpas Altas, a small town near Antigua Guatemala, to make their modern wares, ensuring that each piece is of the highest quality. With a growing collection, we decided to take a second look.
The Boton series of tables are inspired by brass buttons and cufflinks. Each of the three tables has a different top and base and can be modified to become a coffee table or dining table.

Baston Chair
The Baston Chair references a gentleman’s cane for inspiration and features soft curves and a simple silhouette.
Maso Chair
The Maso Chair was designed for a restaurant in Miami Beach and its simple lines can be easily incorporated into most any setting.
Capirucho Stools and Side Tables
The Capirucho Stools and Side Tables were inspired by a Guatemalan toy and their varying silhouettes can be highlighted with colorful bands.
