The Mexican architectural and interior design firm HABITACIÓN 116, founded in 2002 by architects Rafael Rivera and Javier Claverie, emphasizes the importance of collective work and a design community, where the result of its labor derives from the creative impulse of a multidisciplinary team. Thus, designers, architects, and craftsmen, among other professionals and tradesmen, are closely involved in each space and product's design and manufacturing process.

HABITACIÓN 116 creates interior spaces and functional furniture with a design principle focused on preserving a clear “Mexican” identity. This is accomplished by reinterpreting conventional customs and ideas that are part of Mexico’s cultural legacy and experimenting with traditional techniques and ancestral artisanal processes.
