Many other woven items such as rugs, baskets, chairs, and dividers, were used to soften and make dwellings comfortable. The same use of natural materials is still used today for “Mexican Furniture” and we personally love to keep the tradition of using these materials in manufacturing our furniture, as it brings a softness and natural feel into our Mexican Furniture designs.

During the 16th Century Mexico Colonial period, the Spanish conquistadores introduced their culture and technologies into native Mexico and changed the trajectory for native Mexican Furniture. The Spanish introduced carpentry specific tools as well as the art of woodworking and iron forging. Plus, all of the woods used for these furnishings were native; Mesquite, Rosa, Morada, and Pino, just to name a few. Mexican Furniture design took a major transformation during the Mexican Colonial period by introducing European manufacturing techniques and technologies. These furnishings took shape by mortise and tenon joints, paneled construction, and forged iron hardware. New tools were introduced such as a variety of: chisels, saws, smoothing planers, and workbenches.

The furniture designs from the Mexican Colonial period incorporated unique hand-carving, intricate forged iron hardware, and unique spindled leg posts. We pride ourselves in continuing these traditions of these age-old construction techniques in our Mexican Furniture designs built from the same rustic wood species. Our goal is to build furniture how it was built in the 16th century for people to enjoy today.
