Founded in 2016 by Yair Rodriguez and Elvis Ortega, 1840 Creative grew from generations of woodworking and steel fabrication traditions. Inspired by the Industrial Revolution, the era that transformed the relationship between wood and steel, the studio continues to merge timeless craftsmanship with modern fabrication techniques.

What began as handcrafted furniture has evolved into a multidisciplinary fabrication studio creating custom spaces, furniture, and installations while remaining rooted in the same commitment to quality, creativity, and honest craftsmanship.
