About us

Welcome to 70

At 70, we craft timeless, elegant objects that honor tradition while embracing innovation. Founded by Puerto Rican designer Aurorisa Mateo, the brand reflects a deep commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and storytelling. Each piece is designed to be cherished today and passed down tomorrow, celebrating the intersection of heritage and modernity.

Our designs prioritize ethical practices. We work exclusively with reused materials to minimize environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Every piece is produced in small quantities or on request to ensure meticulous attention to detail and avoid waste. 

Rooted in geometric purity, cultural tradition, and cutting-edge technology, 70’s creations transcend trends, offering pieces that remain relevant and meaningful for generations.
