More About ITZ - Workshop & Studio
All the wood that we work with to create our pieces comes from local "ejidos" (communal land) with responsible forestry management programs and certificates.
Throughout the years, for many people, our workshop has become a trade school. Moreover, our team in charge of the high skill finish, details and sanding is composed only by women.
Our intention is that the furniture we create pays tribute to the woodwork trade and to the wood we work with, since every piece we create conserves the essence of the tree that it once was. The tree that is part of our sacred ecosystem in which we are all part of.
Our pieces have a finish based on natural waxes and oils that protect the surface, accentuate the grain and texture and preserve the warm feeling of the wood.
For over 10 years we have teamed up with the best carpenters and artisans of the region, some heirs of a trade and tradition of many generations. We are convinced of the importance in strengthening and preserving their talent.
