Tuux

What Tuux does

Tuux is a Mexico City-based design and FSC-certified manufacturing company founded in 2012 that delivers bespoke architecture, interior design, furniture, museography, strategic design, retail, hospitality, and product development projects. The firm serves government agencies (Palacio Legislativo de San Lázaro, Mexican Pavilion at Venice Biennale, CONACULTA), cultural institutions (Museo de las Constituciones, Museo Franz Mayer), multinational corporations and design firms (Nouvel, Proteak, Editorial GG), and hospitality/retail clients (IKAL Hotel Tulum, Séptimo Ostaría, Bartola, Onora, Teak Haus).

The company's core technical capability is FSC Chain of Custody-certified wood manufacturing using CAD/CAM and CNC fabrication, supporting projects that range from 65-square-foot retail installations to 650,000-square-foot public buildings. Notable proprietary elements include FSC-certified wood sourcing, replicable CNC-fabricated museum installations, and additive modular construction systems (Wander 2.0 hexagonal cabins). The team of approximately 50 people spans designers, materials scientists, woodworkers, musicians, and entrepreneurs, led by Co-founders Emiliano Godoy and Daniel Romero Valencia (both internationally awarded designers with MoMA and Cooper Hewitt permanent collections) and Management Director Paula Vera-Cruz.

Tuux generates revenue through project-based professional services (design fees) and hardware sales (custom furniture, architectural elements, and display systems), with bespoke quote-based pricing per engagement and no published rate card. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting government, cultural, corporate, and design-firm clients, supported by a portfolio-driven website, Instagram presence, and earned media from international design awards and publications. The company is founder-controlled, privately held, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
