Castillo (born 1971) is an artist whose design-focused practice examines the profound social and cultural shifts that shaped the early years of Cuba's socialist utopia. He was a founding member of the collective Los Carpinteros, alongside Alexandre Arrechea and Dagoberto Rodríguez, before embarking on a solo career in 2018. Since then, he has developed a prolific body of work inspired by Cuba's aesthetic modernization during the 1960s and 1970s, pushing traditional materials such as mahogany and rattan to their expressive limits. His archival research into key figures of Cuban industrial design honors a \"\"forgotten generation\"\" of creatives while reimagining their contributions through his own distinctive lens. \u003ci\u003eThe Decorator's Home\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on Castillo's recent work as a solo artist and includes an illustrated chronology of Cuban design history in the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temblores Publicaciones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786079939793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Marco A.
