It all started with a simple question: “What about a for-profit company based in Honduras that would create a positive social impact through its business?”
Tegu's founders—brothers Chris and Will Haughey—wanted to help a country and its people, and they quickly discovered that Honduras could be home to beautiful, sustainably-harvested tropical hardwoods.
Tegu has reinvented the wooden block with magnets and beautiful Honduran hardwoods to push and pull your imagination in ways never before possible.
