ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
Where are your products made?
From our home-base in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, our products are sold and shipped to a wide array of clients all over the world, from art collectors and decorators to individuals who share our values.
Why is every one of your products unique?
Imperfections such as cracks and blemishes are characteristic of the natural beauty of the wood and our Ki-design philosophy mandates we never attempt to eliminate them. Each piece is entirely handmade, so slight variations in form and measures are to be expected. Therefore, each piece has a unique identity.
What type of wood do you work with?
We work with Machaerium scleroxylon, Bolivia's treasure wood known locally as "morado", and internationally as "Bolivian rosewood". Located in remote regions of eastern Bolivia bordering the Amazon basin managed-forestry operations are strictly monitored by international and local authorities. From their production leftovers roots, trunks and branches are brought to our master workshop.
What if I can’t find a product on your website that I saw previously?
Most of our pieces are one-of-a-kind and once sold will not be available again. We continually update our product inventory to display current availability.
