From the Capital to Icons: A Journey in Form A design travelogue through Guatemala’s architectural landmarks and how they shaped the Landmark silhouettes.

Every year, Landmark is our way of honoring Guatemala. Not just through design, but through place. This collection is photographed in locations that are more than backdrops, they are storytellers. Their walls, their lines, their presence embody the same spirit that shapes our pieces: timeless, rooted and deeply cultural.

Each site was carefully chosen by Rev. Not at random, but because each one carries a legacy. These are places that formed and still form part of Guatemala. To step into them is to witness history, movement and artistry made solid.

1. Casa Mozárabe

An architectural jewel tucked into the city and one of the first works in Guatemala built with reinforced concrete. Casa Mozárabe is a testament to eclectic design, where Arabesque detail meets local craftsmanship. Some of the pieces that enrich its Mudéjar design were created by Quetzalteco artist Humberto Garavito, embedding artistry into its very structure. Its arches, tiles, and intricate flourishes carry the memory of elegance and cultural exchange. Photographing Landmark here meant framing our pieces within a dialogue of tradition and reinvention.


2.Centro Cultural Miguel Ángel Asturias

A masterpiece by visionary architect Efraín Recinos and a declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation. It is often said that the building resembles a jaguar at rest, an image that links the structure back to Maya symbology. This cultural beacon is also considered one of the greatest achievements of Guatemalan plastic integration, bringing together architecture, sculpture  and art as a unified whole. Golden tones, bold geometry, and sculptural forms embody movement, drama and grandeur. For generations, it has hosted art, music and memory. Landmark at this site becomes part of a grand staging that combines Guatemalan creativity on all its scale.

3.Teatro Abril

Once the beating heart of elegance in the capital, Teatro Abril carries the whispers of dances, plays, and orchestras past. Its lines echo movement, its history radiates vitality. Though quieter today, its spirit remains intact, a reminder of how space can hold both memory and energy. Our silhouettes here are framed by history in motion.

4.Hipódromo del Sur

A forgotten icon, yet still alive with inspiration. Built with the ambition of hosting a diversity of events, fairs, and amenities, the Hipódromo remained in constant expansion during its prime. Its sweeping lines and dynamic flow of space recall a time of spectacle, energy, and modern optimism. Even in its stillness, the Hipódromo feels in motion, its architecture a study in form and rhythm. Pairing Landmark here meant capturing design as both presence and possibility.

From these landmarks to your living room, each piece in the Landmark Collection carries the imprint of Guatemala’s creative legacy. More than silhouettes, they are fragments of history crafted to live, to be remembered and to inspire.
