DuFlon Design is a design-build company that
creates hand-crafted quality functional and decorative objects from wood. The
range of pieces that DuFlon Design produces includes everything from original
design carved doors and shutters, cabinetry, tables, chairs, beds and night
tables, lamps, jewelry vessels and board games to renditions of traditional
Guatemalan art in wood such as saints, angels, armoires, "tableros"
(carved relief panels), frames, carved columns, benches and chests and other
collectibles.
The company was established in 1987 by
artist/architect Jeffrey DuFlon in his childhood home town of Antigua,
Guatemala. The company’s team of master carpenters and artisans work with a
combination of traditional hand tools, power tools and industrial machines to
translate his designs into unique and lasting works of art. DuFlon Design
woodwork is crafted from cedar, mahogany, cypress and “conacaste” woods that are
obtained from sustainable harvest sources in Guatemala. Both traditional and
modern joinery techniques are used to meet design specifications. Hand-forged
custom iron and brass fittings, silver and glasswork are other distinctive
design features that DuFlon Design is known for.
DuFlon Design collectibles may be purchased
directly from the company’s inventory found in the Santa Chivita Gallery in Antigua on 4th Calle Oriente, No. 23, right
next door to the REVUE offices. If you don’t see what you dream of there or you
would like custom pieces, click contact us. He
and the company staff will work with you through the creative process beginning
with the design and sizing of each piece and on through the selection of wood
type, finishes, carving designs, hand-forged iron and brass fittings, glasswork,
and other details you wish to incorporate, including reclaimed architectural
elements.
The quality of DuFlon Design work is
guaranteed and custom orders are delivered on time. Our carpenters can travel
anywhere in Guatemala to install woodwork. We can arrange to have the items you
purchase shipped to you anywhere in the world.
