A 14-person table that doesn’t crowd the chairs.

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

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.
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.

A fallen tree on a farmer’s land in rural Guanacaste, harvested under MINAE permit. Bernardo selects every log personally — species, age, grain.

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.

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.

iDry vacuum kiln calibrated to US interior moisture. From Aspen winter to Miami humidity, the slab holds stable — moisture measured and recorded for every piece.

120-grit sanding, then 1K clear satin polyurethane — commercial-grade for chef’s tables, hotel lobbies, boardrooms. Every piece signed, numbered, and photographed before shipping.
