The Soul of the Living Room Tiger
In Tigre we seek to materialize a synergy of worldviews, uniting the craft of design in urban environments with the vision and “Doing” of different indigenous and artisan communities around Colombia, through backpacks, bags, fabrics and objects. Through: TIGRES.
Our vision of design and our daily work are based on a holos-oriented thinking - the whole, where we create under an integral vision that intertwines: past, present and dreams of the future; in order to serve the environment in which we live.
Doing beautiful to do good
Our territory
Colombia is the environment we inhabit, as well as our object of study, learning and inexhaustible inspiration. In the Tigre de Salón trade, various places in the country come together: where the people we work with live and where the materials we create with are born. The contexts in which we work expand and contract, always bringing new people, new materials, new stories and new Tigres. However, our anchor points are: Medellín, where our showroom and leather workshop are located; and Gonawindúa, La Sierra Nevada De Santa Marta, where our weavers live.
A connection with the material
We care deeply that our materials come from regenerative sources that are responsible with nature and the human environment, that they are durable and resistant, and that at the end of their useful life they can return to the earth in the way that least affects it.
Thanks to these principles, we work with natural materials such as wool, plant fibers, and leather, the latter coming from farms focused on regenerative livestock farming which cares for the land, promoting biodiversity.
