In 1908, together with the typical cart (national symbol), the famous
Sarchí chair was born in the workshop "La Hacienda" in Sarchí
(which means in Huetar language "open field"), the most modern coffee process exploitation
machines, sawmills and workshops for the wood industry of the
epoch where found there.
This chair was made by Mr. Daniel Alfaro Corrales, whose brother a few years later, in 1914, would give life to the chair
industry and created in 1928 the folding rocking chair.
We could say that there was not a single place in Costa Rica where one of
the Juvenal Alfaro Corrales creations did not exist,
a man who, thanks to effort and work, managed to set up a national firm,
of the kind this country was really needing.
Since then, the company's production is sent to American and British markets, and today it is one of the biggest industry in
Sarchí.
The factory is located in the colorful village of Sarchí Norte in the canton of Valverde Vega in Costa Rica, offering
to our
customers rocking chairs of the highest quality, using wood from well-managed plantations areas,
such as Melina (Gmelina Arborea), Eucalyptus and Roble Sabana (Tabebuia Rosea), joining in this way
with the preservation
of Costa Rica's biodiversity.
Our rocking chairs proudly travel over the world, and the greatest expectation of tourists who visit us is to bring
back to their countries one of these beautiful masterpieces of art.
