SOLID WOOD
Grain, stability and daily use define the wood, the finish and every joint.

SOLID WOOD ONLY
We work with tropical and regional Mexican hardwoods. We don't use melamine or MDF as a main product: board only appears as an interior complement within a solid-wood project.

BEYOND WOOD
Solid wood is the base, but many pieces are completed with other materials. We work them with Oaxacan artisans and workshops, so every piece keeps the same care from start to finish.
Seats and backs in palm hand-woven by Oaxacan artisans, for chairs, stools and signature pieces.
Wool textiles loom-woven by weavers from Teotitlán del Valle, brought into upholstery and custom pieces.
Upholstery in leather and faux leather of every kind, made with local upholsterers: chairs, stools, headboards and booths.
Countertops, bases and details in stone and marble, crafted with stonemasons and marble workers from the region.
Metal for structures, bases and hardware, or exposed as a detail: profiles, rings, pulls and trims.
Laser engraving of logos, lettering and patterns, and all kinds of custom details to make each piece unique.
HOW WE CHOOSE
DURABILITY
A well-made piece is restored, not replaced.
We maintain the pieces we make, so they keep accompanying the space for generations.
SAMPLES
For ongoing projects we send wood and finish samples, or welcome you at our Huayápam workshop by appointment.
