Our Story
Ten years ago, Carlos Bobonis returned to Puerto Rico from New York City with a suitcase full of tools, sketches, and big dreams. After years of working in the fast-paced world of design and fabrication in NYC, he felt a calling to come home—to bring his craft, his ideas, and his energy back to the island.
What started as a small studio with a single workbench grew steadily through word of mouth, client trust, and a commitment to quality that never wavered. Every piece designed during those early years was a labor of love: furniture built by hand, installations imagined from scratch, ideas turned into form through a deep respect for materials, craft, and place.
As the practice grew, so did the team—a collective of designers, makers, artists, and problem-solvers who believe in the power of design to elevate everyday life. Today, Bobonis Design Studio is a multidisciplinary workshop in Santurce, known for its thoughtful and customized approach to furniture, industrial design, and spatial experiences.
But at its core, BDS remains the same: a studio grounded in purpose, built with heart, and guided by the belief that good design—rooted in context and crafted with intention—can transform the spaces we inhabit.
