Guadalupe is a small, peaceful town tucked into the gentle hills of Lara, in western Venezuela, within the state of Lara. It rests in a tropical landscape softened by elevation, where warm breezes move through fields and quiet rural roads. The town feels like a calm pause in the middle of the countryside — a place where life slows down, where sunsets stretch long across the hills, and where community and tradition shape everyday moments. Surrounded by nature and open skies, Guadalupe carries the charm of the Venezuelan interior: simple, welcoming, and full of the quiet beauty found far from the rush of the big cities.

Local hardwoods from about ten tree species are carefully selected for their colour, grain, and workability, giving each handcrafted piece its own character. These woods offer a natural palette — from reddish and yellowish tones to deep purples and dark browns — allowing artisans to create objects whose decorative richness comes directly from the beauty of the material itself.
