Design is thriving in El Salvador thanks to a small community with presence in US

Thursday, March 31, 2011


El Salvador has a fledgling design industry, thanks to the Harry and Claudia Washington and their small community of colleagues.

The couple, who met as students at the University of Applied Arts in San Salvador, are the principals of Due Estudio, one of the first Salvadoran design firms to establish a presence outside Central America. Much of their work is for Bernhardt Design, a furniture maker in North Carolina that asked Due to join its Global Editions division in 2008.
