(1939 – )

 

Roberto Eibeschutz did his residency as an architecture student at an indigenous village in Jalisco called Mezquitic, where he fabricated much of the furniture that he uses to this day. 

 

In the late 1960s he built a house for himself and his family in Mexico City in a tiny lot in Lomas Virreyes. A veritable landmark in Mexican architecture, this house has all the marks of an architectural imagination that has migrated from the remotest areas in Mexico’s countryside to the city: a compact, organic design, efficient in both space use and climate control, simple, and with all the necessary elements already built in, a feature he likes to incorporate in his architectural designs “so that people won’t have to purchase too much furniture.” Thus, there are few individual furniture pieces, all of them made mostly for himself and his family, and each of them marking an important moment in his professional and personal life.
