The Story Behind Entre Rumbos
Every generation inherits something.
Not only objects.
But stories.
Values.
Rituals.
Ways of gathering.
Ways of seeing the world.
Some of these inheritances are passed down intentionally.
Others travel quietly, almost unnoticed, from one generation to the next.
In my family, that journey began long before me.
With my grandfather.
Then my father.
And eventually, me.
Each generation receiving something different.
Each generation adding something of its own.
What survived was not a particular object alone.
It was the meaning carried through it.
The stories.
The rituals.
The memories.
The human connections that outlived the object itself.
Over time, life added another layer to that inheritance.
Travel.
Movement.
The experience of being between places, between chapters, between certainties.
The experience of being between directions.
Between what was left behind and what was still waiting ahead.
In Spanish, rumbo means direction.
But Entre Rumbos was never about arriving.
It was about what happens in between.
The conversations.
The encounters.
The memories.
The people who leave traces in us.
Over time, a question began to emerge:
Why do certain objects remain with us?
Why do some become part of family stories?
Why do some survive generations while others are forgotten?
The search for that answer eventually became Entre Rumbos.
Not as a collection of products.
But as a way of exploring what connects us across time.
The objects we keep.
The rituals we repeat.
The stories we pass on.
And the invisible threads that continue long after we are gone.
Entre Rumbos exists in that space.
Between generations.
Between memories.
Between places.
Between directions.
Because sometimes the most meaningful part of a journey is not where it begins or where it ends.
But what travels with us along the way.

The Circular Backgammon is the first object born from that search. Its first edition, the Original Edition, is handcrafted in Mexico and designed not only to be seen, but to be used, shared, and passed on from one generation to the next.
