AN ODE TO THE PRIMITIVE, THE RAW,
AND SIMPLICITY.

SIMPLICITY IS NOT SO SIMPLE.

TONA centers around simplicity, asymmetry, and intimacy. It values earthiness, unpretentiousness, and modesty. We introduce natural and authentic products that preferable opt for something original, rather than something mass produced. The fine curated handcrafted products are from small batches made by contemporary artists and local artisans in Mexico. We use raw materials: Wood, Bark, Palm, Cotton, Wool and Clay.
