About Us

Origins

Our love for woodworking started in 2004 in Havana, Cuba, where we crafted night tables from recycled materials.
Our philosophy of “Made in Canada” involves blending tradition with innovation, balancing skill and imagination, and paying attention to every detail. We design distinctive and personalized environments using only the highest quality materials, resulting in refined products with a distinct character. Our aim is to transform basic shapes into masterpieces of artistic craftsmanship.

What’s a Polymita?

Cuba is home to the world’s greatest diversity of snails, but no others have shells with such a range of colors and complex patterns. Painted snails, in the genus Polymita, have long been sought by collectors, who sell the shells to tourists or trade them abroad to the United States and Europe. This demand is one reason why Cuba lists all six species as critically endangered, and why it’s been illegal for more than a decade to take these snails from the wild. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which regulates global commerce in wildlife, has banned their trade since 2017.
