Spotlight: MasayaCo
Meet MasayaCo… sustainable furniture leader and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for September 8.
MasayaCo is a furniture company that’s redefining what it means to be sustainable. Founded in Nicaragua in 2014, MasayaCo creates heirloom-quality furniture inspired by local design traditions and built to last for generations. Their chairs, tables and home accents are all handcrafted from wood grown in their own reforestation projects.
At the heart of their mission is the Seed to Seat model — a vertically integrated approach that connects tree planting, sustainable forestry and artisanal craftsmanship into one cycle. For every piece of furniture sold, MasayaCo plants 100 trees. That’s over 1.3 million trees so far, with more planted each year than they harvest. Beyond the numbers, they embrace a “Whole Tree Approach,” ensuring no part of the tree goes to waste — even sawdust is reused as biofuel.
The result? Beautiful, timeless designs that not only support local communities and artisans in Nicaragua but also actively restore ecosystems. MasayaCo proves that furniture can be more than stylish — it can be part of a regenerative future.
