About Us

In 2022, with over 50 years of well-lived life under our belts, we were able to tick off another bucket list item: the trip to Costa Rica with the younger generation.

Saw it, fell in love with it, and bought it.
First noticed and touched during the construction of www.mansion-maeli.com
Respect and beauty are frozen.
And that's how the vision of using Guanacaste tropical timber came about. The national tree of Costa Rica.

From Tree to Treasure

The old, venerable trees, some of which live well over 100 years.
Like my 104-year-old grandmother Maruja, who passed away in 2021.
Noble and unique.

Symbol of strength

Guanacaste: more than just wood

The Guanacaste tree is the national symbol of Costa Rica – an emblem of permanence, protection, and life. With its imposing crown, it provides shade where the sun shines strongest and offers habitat for animals, insects, and plants.

Its wood is not only beautifully grained, but also extremely durable – ideal for furniture, art and handcrafted unique items.

Origin

Where it all begins: Costa Rica

Nestled in the heart of tropical forests, we collaborate with experienced artisans who have passed down their knowledge through generations. Here, each of our products is created with care, sustainability, and respect for nature.

Craftsmanship

Handcrafted work that you can see and feel

Our products are not mass-produced, but individually handcrafted. Each piece of wood is selected, sanded, and finished – a process that gives each product its own unique character.

Origin

The vast farms, where Guanacaste trees grow alongside Matapalo or Gavilán trees, spreading and providing shade, shelter, or simply a resting place for animals, are priceless treasures. The owners are proud of their diverse plantations. Meet our man «»»».

Exclusivity

The wood of the Guanacaste tree, like other tropical woods in Costa Rica, is exposed to the tropical climate on a daily basis. Sometimes it is very hot, sometimes it is confronted with continuous rain, or even tropical storms.
This makes the wood durable, strong and super elegant.
The Guanacaste selection is limited, exclusive, and high-quality. Indeed:

Natural – rare – genuine
