Kóokay is the Mayan word for firefly.

Why firefly? Because we want our furniture to enlighten the room where you will cherish and enjoy it.

Kóokay is a 100% Mexican enterprise that showcases its magical art crafts. We work with local people, mostly women, empowering and helping them to become an independent workforce to build up their communities. We pay fair price and currently participate in a community program where 20% of the profits of our accesories are used to buy eyeglasses and pay for eye exams for children in the poorest communities.

Kóokay is commited to the environment, so we recicle, reuse, remake and redesign old/vintage/modern/contemporary furniture for the making of beautiful, handmade pieces, unique… one of a kind!

Mexico is tradition, culture, diversity.  It is well known for its beautiful handcrafts and explosive use of colors.  Our chic and eclectic designs combine all of the above, resulting in a stylish appeal.  All our pieces are created with different kinds of embroideries: from the famous “telar de cintura” or “backstrap weaving” which is used in the making of traditional Mayan textile weaving to the Otomí handmade embroidery.

All of our pieces are unique and one of a kind, and surely will become a conversation piece in your home.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed designing them for you!
