Parota Mexico’s slab wood Tzalam grown in the Yucatán Teak the outdoor standard Oak straight grain for modern lines
Enterolobium cyclocarpum · Mexico’s slab wood
Parota
Wide slabs with figure you can read across the room, from trees big enough to give a four-meter top in one piece. Most of our tables start here.
Where it goes Dining and coffee tables, consoles, benches, bed platforms
In this climate Parota moves with the humidity, so every slab is dried and stabilized locally before it is cut, and tops are fixed so they can breathe.
Care A damp cloth day to day. Re-oil once or twice a year and light scratches blend away. Add to build sheet
Lysiloma latisiliquum · grown in the Yucatán
Tzalam
The peninsula’s own hardwood. Dense and chocolate-grained, with a quieter figure than parota, for rooms that want warmth without a statement.
Where it goes Beds, headboards, nightstands, closets and sofa frames
In this climate Grown in this climate, so it holds steady through the wet season. Its density makes it our frame wood of choice.
Care Dust and wipe. Renew the oil or wax every year or two. Add to build sheet
Tectona grandis · the outdoor standard
Teak
Natural oils in the wood keep water out, which is why teak is the one we leave outside on purpose.
Where it goes Loungers, outdoor dining, terrace sofas, pool furniture
In this climate Left bare, it weathers to soft silver within a season. Oiled, it stays honey. You choose, and we finish it that way.
Care Rinse off salt and sunscreen. Oil twice a year to keep the honey color. Add to build sheet
Quercus · straight grain for modern lines
Oak
Even, straight grain that takes smoke, stain and ebonizing evenly. Our wood for crisp modern pieces and full walls of millwork.
Where it goes Closets, media walls, modern dining tables, cabinets
In this climate An interior wood. We seal every face, including backs and inside edges, so humidity has nowhere to get in.
Care Dust and wipe spills. A matte lacquer needs nothing more. Add to build sheet
Natural Oil the wood as it grew Blonde lightened Dark Walnut a deep brown stain Smoked darkened, grain still showing Ebonized near-black Whitewash pale and chalky Ivory Matte for walls that disappear
On parota · the wood as it grew
Natural Oil
Oiled until the grain wakes up. It deepens a shade over the first year, and it is the easiest finish to touch up.

Performance Weave cut and sewn in-house Bouclé sculptural hand Outdoor Canvas for the pool deck Leather the hacienda way Hide Sling parota rails
Solution-dyed · cut and sewn in-house

The color runs through the fibre instead of sitting on top, so sun, salt and sunscreen have nothing to strip. Made to be sat on wet.
Where it goes Sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, headboards
In this climate The fabric for rentals, kids and swimsuits. It won’t fade by Easter.
Care Most spills blot out with water; tougher marks with mild soap. Add to build sheet

Bouclé
A nubby, looped yarn that makes a curved sofa look carved and a dining chair look soft.
Where it goes Curved sofas, swivel chairs, dining chairs
In this climate Indoors, in air-conditioned rooms. The loops can catch on claws and jewelry, so for rentals with pets we suggest a flat weave instead.

Solution-dyed · for the pool deck

Full leather · the hacienda way
