Crudo
What is Crudo?
Crudo is the fruit of time and of love.
Crudo Furniture was officially created in Autumn 2016. To arrive at that point, however, we have to go back a few decades in time. CRUDO is the fruit of the union of two families sharing over a hundred years’ experience in craftsmanship. One, family in Spain working leather with love for over a century and the other, giving their hearts and souls to working with wood in Colombia. CRUDO has inherited their skills, knowledge and love for the raw materials. This amazing fusion of leather and wood creates concepts inspired by the real, visible and lasting features of nature.
Crudo is a declaration of love for the purity of the materials and an agreement to maintain their expressive nature in every pore, vein and grain. The perfect imperfections of nature. CRUDO; nude purity. CRUDO is born of human nature; a strong wish to make furniture an art. Our mission: to design and build furniture with strength; with character. To make pieces that make us as one with nature and their very own essence, through their presence and their use.
Working with wood and leather, CRUDO’s essential materials requires exacting techniques and experienced hands. Some of these techniques are part of a family tradition handed down through time and dote our furniture with a character and finish unique to the market.
Each piece undergoes strict controls in the design and manufacturing process, allowing us the freedom to hone our designs imbuing them with flexibility, quality and soul. Our special understanding of the production processes at Crudo ensures we have everything under control from the selection of the raw materials to the labels on the finished product.
By reviving ancient techniques and with an experienced touch we give shape to our dreams, creating strong furniture, full of life and linking us to nature. Some of these techniques are part of a family legacy that has survived the passage of time giving character, quality and especial finishes to each piece.
Inspiration.
Crudo means design and inspiration. Every one of our pieces is the result of the combination of an idea and nature’s own design.
Let nature be your teacher.
The creations are conceived from various ideas, influences, eras, ways of thinking and life-styles. A creative process makes the history contained in the material adapt into a fundamental role to light a new pathway in its second life, as a piece of furniture.
Sustainability.
Crudo takes part in the Amazon Reforestation initiative. That’s how we help improve the Earth’s best lung and the people who live there.
