Itza Wood
Each piece is a unique expression of Guatemalan beauty and biodiversity.
Itza Wood was founded by Eliza Babarczy in the Petén, the largest remaining tropical forest in Central America. The lumber comes from community-run, FSC-certified yards inside the Maya Biosphere, and the team planted 45,000 trees before cutting any.
