Tableaux® [ta-bloh, tab-loh] was founded in 2002 by a Colombian-American artist and a German-Brazilian engineer.
Their idea was to create a product that replicated the old-world openwork architectural art forms they had seen throughout their world travels.
Working out of a garage in Austin Texas, the two entrepreneurs spent their first year developing a process for cutting geometric design patterns out of wood. They also perfected an artistic application of finish colors that made the wood product look like real wrought iron and coined the term “Faux Iron”.
By 2010, Tableaux had expanded its offices and manufacturing into a 17,500 sq. ft. facility, and had built up a large network of independent residential resellers throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 2012, Tableaux entered the commercial space and expanded its product line beyond the original “Tableaux© Faux Iron”, adding three other product families: “Tableaux© Veneer”, “Tableaux© Elements”, and “Tableaux© Metal”. They also introduced “Tableaux Architectural Panels” as a design product category with additional options to complement virtually any interior or exterior design style.
