Contemporary Armchair in Natural Hardwood with Handmade Weaving by Ania Wolowska

We are a design studio and woodwork workshop located in Bacalar, southeast Mexico. We specialize in producing high quality furniture from many different native species of tropical hardwood. Our pieces are handmade with passion and care, with meticulous attention to the detail. At Itz we combine a thoughtful and honest design, admiration for craft techniques, and a profound respect for the materials we work with. We believe in having less but with high quality that lasts a lifetime. The name of our brand is based on the Mayan concept, itz, which refers to the sacred essence of things. At Itz, our essence is passion and the integrity with which we create our furniture. _ 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. All the wood that we work with to create our pieces comes from local "ejidos" (communal land) with responsible forestry management programs and certificates.
