Born in the Amazon: Introducing the Selva Collection

Immerse yourself in the enchantment of the rainforests that dominate the landscapes of Colombia and Venezuela with our 'Selva' collection. Inspired by the vibrant flora, diverse fauna, and indigenous communities, we present an eclectic array of tableware. Collaborating closely with indigenous artisans, we have meticulously crafted a collection that tells a story of cultural fusion and reverence.

Indulge in the allure of our hand-painted plates, each stroke emanating from the skilled hands of these talented craftsmen. Experience the intricate artistry of Werregue weaved vases, lovingly created by artisans in El Choco. Adorn your tables with the exquisite Paja Tetera placemats and baskets, hailing from the artful hands of El Cauca artisans. Marvel at the intricate wood carvings and dazzling bead veneers, originating from El Putumayo in the Amazon basin.

The vivid hues of this collection draw inspiration from the rusted rivers, tainted by the abundance of iron ore, and the resplendent greens of the lofty canopies. Let these colours transport you to the heart of these captivating natural wonders.


With an air of tropical-chic, our maiden collection aims to infuse your winter nights with a touch of warmth and wonder. Indulge in the extraordinary, as each piece in our Selva collection narrates a tale of nature's splendour and indigenous artistry, inviting you to create memorable moments at your table.
