Vea

Vea means "vein" in Galician, and they work to ensure that the result—the interplay of grain, shapes, and colors—fully reflects your personality, your space, and your style. In January 2017, hurricane-force winds devastated inland Galicia, uprooting and felling hundreds of trees. This catastrophe inspired its founder to create VEA, transforming fallen trees into beautiful, unique, sustainable, and eco-friendly tables. Galicia, home to designer and architect Alfonso Cort, is the source of his raw material: wood. Traveling through the affected areas and acquiring the most remarkable fallen trees from residents of different regions is part of Alfonso's daily routine. He selects diverse and unique woods chosen for their size, shape, and age. A wide mix of trees with many contrasts, variations in tone, and knots are brought back to life with "VEA." Woods that tell the story of their lives, a life they continue indefinitely. They design, highlighting and respecting the identity of each tree, creating unique cuts and pieces. The production process is artisanal. The cutting, drying, and maintenance of the boards of different hardwoods takes between 18 and 24 months until the product is ready to be worked. The handling, cutting, and final shaping of each piece of wood is done exclusively by artisans, using manual methods of the highest precision. Simultaneously, the designer creates the perfect model for each type of wood. The prototypes combine wood as the main element with other materials such as iron and glass. All Vea pieces are unique, like their grain, and are stamped and numbered. Vea personalizes and creates custom furniture, so you can contact them if you wish to create your own sustainable table. Social and environmental commitment: Vea collaborates with Reforesta, an association dedicated to promoting sustainable development, working for the conservation and restoration of forests and mitigating climate change. VEA's objective is for its tables to contribute to the reforestation of forests by planting a tree of a native species and sponsoring it for each table sold.
