Consultancy for handicraft product development
Artisan product
The Crafts Commission of the Guatemalan Association of Exporters (Agexport) is dedicated to promoting the development and promotion of the Guatemalan artisan sector, locally and internationally, with development and innovation projects for the different Guatemalan artisan associations and cooperatives, aiming at improving their competitiveness and thus generate employment, income and access to new markets.
Within this framework, we were commissioned to develop and monitor several lines of new products in different materials, specifically bamboo, cotton and PVC and as the main technique, weave.
For this project, I worked together with the designers Marjolein Keijsper and Nicole Sosa over a period of several months, in which periodic visits were made to the different associations to optimize the production processes, redesign parts and create new designs.
