The Story

Every slab is a one-of-a-kind piece. No two will ever exist.

A fallen tree, decades old, on a farmer's land in rural Guanacaste. Bernardo travels to choose it himself — species, age, and grain confirmed under MINAE harvest permit. Fifteen weeks of production later — milled, kiln-dried twice, finished in South Carolina — it's a piece no one else owns.

The Collection

Tables shown are renderings. Each piece is made on commission — slab photography sent with the spec sheet once a commission begins.

The Designer

Bernardo Urbina

Bernardo spent five years in New York — studying furniture design at Pratt Institute, then working in SoHo studios. He moved to Milan to earn his Master's at Politecnico di Milano, then worked on exhibition design in the city — including Moooi installations during Salone del Mobile and projects for the Triennale di Milano. After three years in the Philippines — where he founded his first furniture brand and was featured in The New York Times — he returned home to Costa Rica.

Today he works between a mill in rural Guanacaste and a finishing studio in South Carolina. Every piece is sourced, designed, and overseen by Bernardo from a farmer's tree to a designer's spec sheet — the table that arrives is the table he chose.

The Process

From a farmer’s tree in rural Guanacaste to the South Carolina workshop — thirteen to fifteen weeks of production, six stages, one person overseeing every one.

Bernardo decides how each log will be cut. The right cut reveals what the wood wants to be — then the slab is photographed, catalogued, and named.

Kiln-Dry — On site

Kiln-Dry

On site

Two and a half to three months of controlled descent. Shaded airflow, then the Italian kiln on site. The slab leaves Costa Rica uniform and stable.
