Share
Skilled artisans of the Aztec Empire designed handcrafted equipales, Mexican furniture over 500 years ago. And, this design concept that has been passed down through generations. Artisans use organic and regional materials to craft furniture that provides both comfort and aesthetic pleasure. Today, authentic equipal furniture is handmade in Zacoalco de Torres, Jalisco, a small town south of Guadalajara.

Clay Imports’ Story
Photography of beach resorts in Mexico during the 20th contributed to equipales' popularity. However, as demand for and production of equipales increased, their quality began to suffer. Clay Import’s New School Equipal collection restores high quality while focusing on sustainability. We use 100% natural and biodegradable products. Furthermore, we offer our furniture in select water-based colors, vegan options, and custom sizes.
