About Tropicasso

Our story began with a quiet appreciation for the parts of nature that most people walk past without a second thought. We started this journey because we saw something remarkable in the way a tree heals itself, specifically the jempinis tree. When a mistletoe plant grows on its branches, the tree creates a dense and beautiful growth known as parasite wood. These formations were once ignored or used as simple fuel, but we saw them as the foundation for something lasting. Our mission is to celebrate these natural transformations by carving sculptures that honor the original spirit of the wood. Because we work with materials shaped by nature rather than a factory mold, our core philosophy is that the wood dictates the design. This means that every single sculpture we ship is a one of one original.Read their story
