Cutting
We choose each board and cut it along the grain.
Since 1987
Three carpenters started with a borrowed workbench. Today there are twelve of us, but we still make every piece by hand.
A good piece of furniture is not thrown away: it is inherited.

The forest
Oak, walnut and ash from managed forests in northern Spain, with their certificate.

Two years of air drying before entering the workshop: that way the wood does not move later.

Dovetails and tenons, not a single screw: the joints outlast the wood.

The piece arrives assembled and signed. If it ever breaks, we fix it.

People who own an Ombú
The Alba chairs have been at my parents' for twenty years and still look new.
They built a custom table for an impossible dining room. It fitted to the millimetre.
I asked for a spare shelf twelve years later and they sent it in the same wood.
You can visit the workshop: seeing how they work explains the price.
