About Us
Founded in 2019, Under The Bough is a design studio and producer of homeware, furniture, and objects, rooted in Paraguay. Our work spans both small-batch and industrial production, unified by a single-source approach to making.
We operate within a single, local ecosystem of materials, labor, and production knowledge. From design through manufacturing, our collections are developed and made within one integrated process, allowing us to maintain authorship, continuity, and care at every stage of production.
What began as a small studio working closely with skilled makers across Paraguay has grown into a broader production platform. Today, our team spans multiple workshops and manufacturing partners, bringing together long-standing production knowledge and modern processes to create well-made goods built for daily use and lasting relevance.
Every product we make is designed and developed in-house. We believe homeware should be clearly authored—reflecting how it is made, where it comes from, and who is responsible for it. Across categories and scales, our work is guided by consistent standards: considered design, material honesty, and respect for the people and processes behind each piece.
At Under The Bough, we are not interested in preserving tradition as something static. Instead, we see making as a living practice—one that evolves over time, adapting to new tools, new contexts, and new possibilities, while remaining grounded in place and knowledge.
Our Mission
At Under The Bough, we believe business can be a force for good when it is built with care, accountability, and long-term thinking. Our mission is to create high-quality products while building a production model that supports lasting economic opportunity and responsible growth.
By operating within a single-source ecosystem in Paraguay, we are able to invest directly in the people, skills, and systems behind our work. We partner with makers, workshops, and manufacturing teams to ensure fair labor practices, ethical sourcing, and environmentally responsible decision-making across every stage of production.
Through this approach, we aim to build a company that creates value beyond the products themselves—strengthening local capacity, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and contributing to a more resilient way of making.
