Wood Couture

ETEL pieces are rare gems. Rare for a very simple reason: they are made from unique species and individuals. Plant, trunk, branch, or seed are also jewels for the value of its design, as well as for the individuality of each artisan's hand, for their construction, their finishing and the quality that is felt. The use of these rare qualities seeks to value what is naturally beautiful and beneficial, giving greater prominence to the work of nature and the human soul.

ETEL's intention has always been to materialize dreams and desires through the appreciation of man, nature and the art of woodworking, developed for over thirty years by the refined look and boldness of Etel Carmona combined with the exquisite engineering of master Moacir Tozzo.
