Why yes, we did fabricate a Bad Bunny casita holiday market stall (along with Kwanza and creche stalls) for and ’s holiday market at the Frankford Pause Park. It was a really fun end-of-the-year project for our team to wrap up 2025. It was a great project for our cnc and because the market stall facades were quite big, it required a legit barnraising from fabrication to install, which was a wonderful feeling for ending the year. And what an honor to make these community-driven market stalls and anything that celebrates Bad Bunny.
Thanks for the opportunity to work on the project and !
