Objects from the Tuofo shelf at home in a room

Some objects catch your eye for a moment, while others stay with you long after you have looked away. Tuofo began in British Columbia with those that kept returning to mind and eventually found a place in our everyday lives. We are drawn to objects that are useful, thoughtfully made, and just unusual enough to make the ordinary feel more interesting.

Our Manifesto

Our Manifesto

We do not try to talk anyone into buying. You will not find a countdown here, or a warning that stock is running out, or a discount that appears the moment you move to leave. That machinery exists to move objects that cannot argue for themselves, and we would rather carry the ones that can. So the site stays quiet and the objects do the talking. If something is right for you it will still be right tomorrow, and we would rather you came back for it than were hurried into it today.

The Tuofo Team

The Tuofo Team

Tuofo is run by the same people who choose what goes on it. Whoever decided an object belonged here is the one who writes about it, packs it when you order it, and answers when you write in. That is why the answers are specific. Ask why this version and not the cheaper one that looks the same in a photograph, and you will get the actual reason rather than a line lifted from a brochure. We are in British Columbia, and we read everything that comes in.

Working With Us

Working With Us

If you make something and think it belongs here, write to us. We would rather hear from you than find you on a trade list, and a short note about what the thing is, what it is made of, and why you made it tells us more than a catalogue ever does. The same address reaches us for everything else: a question about an object, a measurement you are unsure of, an order that needs changing before it ships. Nobody screens it before we see it.
