Chico Margarita

Chico Margarita is a Brazilian woodworking artist based in Embu da Artes, a municipality in São Paulo, Brazil. He is specialised in the art of wood marquetry, a craft that goes back as far as Ancient Egyptian times. Chico was trained as an industrial chemical engineer, but after an extensive and years long training in woodworking, he decided to devote his life to his art. In 2017, he and his wife Luiza founded a woodworking studio that is the birthplace of the most exclusive and one-of-a-kind wooden furniture, lamps, folding screens… . In 2021, Chico Margarita started working with Gardeco, creating exclusively for them exquisite handcrafted wooden wall panels. Purchasing a Chico Margarita product means contributing to the restoration of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, as one tree per product sold will be replanted in this amazing rainforest. All Chico products contain natural raw materials only and legal origin wood.
