Who We Are?
A FunctionalArt Studio
Inside & Out is a functional art studio based in Costa Rica, specializing in custom, one-of-a-kind pieces created through an intentional and collaborative process.
We do not manufacture standard products.
We create individual works designed specifically for each project.
Material & Craftsmanship
We work primarily with Guanacaste wood, a native hardwood known for its expressive grain, organic movement, and strength.
Our process includes:
• Hand-selection of natural wood slabs
• Respect for natural edges, cracks, and imperfections
• Hand-painting techniques developed in-house
• Ultra-clear, high-resistance resin finishes
Each piece balances raw material expression with refined execution.
How We Work
Every project begins with understanding the space, the concept, and the role the piece will play within the architecture.
We collaborate closely with:
• Architects
• Interior designers
• Engineers
• Developers
• Private clients
No two projects are ever repeated.
International Experience
With extensive experience in international logistics, we manage the full export and import process from Costa Rica to destinations worldwide.
This allows our collaborators to focus on design and execution while we ensure safe and professional delivery.
Philosophy
We believe in:
• Slow design
• Honest materials
• Craftsmanship over trends
• Quality over quantity
Each piece reflects time, intention, and respect for the material.
Meet Our People
The soul of our company lies in its people, a fusion of local and international talents that guarantee quality and authenticity.
Founder and CEO of Inside & Out, a Costa Rica–based design studio specializing in custom, one-of-a-kind furniture crafted from solid natural wood.
I work closely with architects, interior designers, and private clients to create bespoke dining tables and statement pieces made from Guanacaste wood and natural teak. Each piece is handcrafted in Costa Rica through a made-to-order process, where material integrity, proportion, and timeless design define every result.
Andy is 100% Guanacastecan pride. His innate talent for “reading” wood allows him to create pieces that are true living canvases. His technique, which combines native woods with epoxy resin, has graced exclusive spaces in Miami and Europe.
