With over 35 years of experience working with balsa wood—an abundant and lightweight material from the Ecuadorian Amazon—Luisa and Luis, together with Amalgama, have embraced a more sustainable approach by incorporating reclaimed pine wood into their processes.

From this collaboration come modular, animal-inspired wooden toys designed to spark curiosity and promote environmental awareness through play.
