Masaya

At MasayaCo, we are dedicated to design and sustainability. We make wood furniture out of trees we grow in reforestation projects. We offer an alternative to mass produced fast furniture. We feel that sustainability also means designing and building products that last a lifetime. We integrate classic and contemporary furniture designs with traditional artisan production methods. Our products are hand made in Nicaragua and offer a responsible alternative to mass produced goods. At MasayaCo, our passion is the forest. We have planted over 1.2 million trees to date and the number keeps growing. Established in 2014. Our founder Aram Terry went to Nicaragua with the Peace Corps and saw the negative impact of abusive agricultural practices, Aram knew he wanted to create a socially and environmentally sustainable business based on reforestation. So, he, along with Michael Terry, founded Maderas Sostenibles in 2008. After several years of establishing tree farms on deforested cow pastures, Maderas Sostenibles founded a production facility in Managua to fabricate furniture and wood products that continuously capture carbon in our everyday lives through furniture. In 2014, Aram partnered with Justin Terry, an American artist, and Abril Zepeda, a Nicaraguan designer, to bring an elevated uniqueness to the furniture he had begun to produce. Inspired by the artisanal nature of Masaya and the rich culture and nature found in Nicaragua, MasayaCo was born.
