Enhance your home environment with a set of stylish tealight holders in exotic teak wood. Each of these geometric designs were hand-carved by artisans based in Guatemala, made with teak wood sourced from the Peten Jungle.

Every tea light holder is completely unique, with varying streaks of light and dark brown teak wood, which exude a sense of warmth and groundedness, lovingly hand-finished by our team.

With these tea light holders, you will be welcoming organic, warm touches from the jungle into your living spaces, as well as helping to support Guatemala's rich traditions of artisanal woodworking.

This wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council to ensure that the makers are not contributing to over cutting or damaging the jungle. The sustainable use of natural resources has proven to be the solution for breaking cycles of poverty in the Petén communities and protecting the environment.

From the maker: 

At Itza Wood, our mission is to break the cycle of poverty in the Peten region of Guatemala. By providing education and employment opportunities to local residents, we celebrate the traditions of Peten while creating a better future for its people.

“Before touching a single tree, our reforestation project had planted 45,000 trees in the heart of the Peten jungle. This is our way of deepening our commitment to nature’s most beautiful treasures.” - Eliza Babarczy, Founder

Itza Wood was founded in the Peten Jungle - the largest remaining tropical forest of Central America.

Our story is closely entwined with our social efforts and initiatives: preserving the beauty of the Peten while empowering the Guatemalan people. All Itza Wood creations are sourced exclusively from the Petén jungle, while our growing contributions to the local Jungle School help drive education for young people in the region.
