Tempo is a collection of furniture of great simplicity in its design, highlighting an unpretentious aesthetic under the philosophy of creating timeless and well thought out objects. The project is a collaboration with Jorge Diego Etienne's social cause to support the Fábrica Social de Techo A.C, an initiative in Latin America dedicated to the manufacture of emergency housing in marginalized communities.
The design of the Tempo collection is based on the search to make use of the raw material of the workshop, exploring its ability to create objects that last through time. Its construction is consistent with the processes and managing of the wood used by Techo, with a language very faithful to the material in its aesthetic and structural characteristics. A constant in the collection is the open and legible design, with luxury in the details of each joint that denote the expert craftsmanship and experience of the workshop and its collaborators.
Just like their basic shapes, the pieces that comprise Tempo are very versatile, suitable for different environments. They are discreet and serene, giving tranquility to the rooms that contain them. They are combined and accompany each other, but they also work as solitary furniture or complementing any space. They have a unique warmth that provides confidence and invites you to use them over the years.
Through the manufacture and sale of this furniture, investment will be generated in the different programs of the Asociación Civil de Techo, taking advantage of the resources that it already has in its factory, adapting and creating various solutions and services in wood. La Fábrica Social de Techo acts as the right hand of the organization, fighting social inequality by expanding its current field of action in the prefabrication of emergency housing to furniture and carpentry projects.
