Tango Design is a proud Canadian family business creating handcrafted wood pieces for home, kitchen, and gathering spaces.
Every board, table, and custom item we make carries a story—one of craftsmanship, culture, and connection.
Our name was inspired by the rhythm and soul of tango music, which flows from the Río de la Plata between Argentina and Uruguay.
Founder Paulo Martinez was born in Uruguay, where family, food, and tradition went hand in hand. His earliest inspiration came from his grandfather, a skilled carpenter and cabinet maker who passed down the tools, knowledge, and love of woodworking.
Paulo later studied sculpture and wood carving in art school under a Spanish instructor—who once counted Picasso among his friends. Those roots in fine art and craftsmanship continue to shape every piece we create today.
From rustic charcuterie boards to Parrillada (Asado) serving boards, Paulo’s designs are shaped by his heritage and his love for sharing meals. What began with custom boards evolved into a full line of handcrafted home products—each made with intention, function, and character.
