Galvanised Steel Fruit Bowl - Coco by Fabien Cappello
Fabien Cappello
Objetos de Hojalata para el Hogar
Fabien Cappello is a designer working across furniture, lighting and objects, based in Guadalajara, Mexico since early 2020.
Not long after arriving he encountered hojalatería, the Mexican craft of shaping household objects by hand from thin sheets of galvanised steel.
Rather than reproduce the traditional forms, his studio spent time with those workshops and then designed new pieces made entirely by the existing craft. Objetos de Hojalata para el Hogar is the collection that came out of that work.
Everyday shapes, made the way they have always been made.
