About Us

505 Designs brings you the ‘Nicaraguan Hardwood Collection’.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with some of Nicaragua’s finest carpenters to design and produce this line of furniture.  The process required us to become familiar with the hardwood trade in Nicaragua -- exploring everything from tree identification to milling and curing lumber from its raw state. We combined this knowledge with our expertise in carpentry to create the 'Nicaraguan Hardwood Collection'. The designs of these pieces showcase the natural beauty of each hardwood, evoking sophisticated artistry and rustic workmanship. Every piece that comprises the collection is unique.

We take pride in the ethical procurement of our materials, sourcing all hardwoods from hurricane reclaim, deadfall and sustainable farming practices.
