Mandana Blvd was founded by Cristina Ramos and Nu Goteh. When they moved from New York to California, they decided to furnish their place with vintage items found at flea markets, estate sales, and Craigslist. Mandana Blvd has more of a vintage, bohemian, and mid-century feel and every piece has a story behind it. Many of their items are made of wicker and come in neutral colors, so they will match with almost anything in your space.

Facon, founded by Martin Bustamante, sells original furniture made in Argentina. The purpose behind Facon was to create pieces with materials that came from Argentinian soil.

The most interesting thing about Facon is that they literally travel to remote places in Argentina and have the locals create the pieces that they sell. Their mission is to bring to light the unknown talents of people from inaccessible places in Argentina.
