Carlos Flores

Carlos Flores moves between stone, architecture, and people.
But above all, he defines himself simply: a “son of stone.”

He grew up surrounded by this material and built his path through it, bringing together practice, thought, and creation. Architecture gave him a method and a way of thinking; stone gave him material and direction. It’s within this balance that he develops his work — between construction, art, and education.

Stone is not just a material; it is at the center of everything.
“It’s the stone, before anything else,” he says. From it, he builds relationships, projects, and knowledge, always maintaining a strong connection to the human side of his work.

He rejects empty processes and seeks meaning in everything he does. He also sees himself as someone who cares — for people, for relationships, and for the material he works with.

Lobo pieces accompany him in his daily life, from the worksite to his time off, always with the same natural ease.

“They’re very well made, with a human touch. It really aligns with the way I move through the world. I’ve had these boots for years… they’ve been through a lot and they hold up incredibly well.”
Durability, comfort, and authenticity are qualities he recognizes in the brand — and ones that reflect how he lives and works.
