Luteca stands at the design crossroads of Mexican heritage and European innovation, past and present. 

We bring together diverse cultural strands and historical influences to create furniture with a uniquely Mexican soul animated by a global, cosmopolitan spirit.

Deeply rooted in the artisanal craft traditions that inspired the work of Mexico's leading modernist designers of the 20th century, we celebrate a holistic vision of Mexican artistry in all its nuanced complexity and brilliance, untethered from antiquated stereotypes of humble, folksy charm.

Our aim is to bring the warmth of Latin American culture into beautiful spaces around the world by uniting the artistry of ancestral Mexican craft with the best in contemporary European and American innovation. Luteca is inspired by our love and reverence for Mexico's rich creative legacy; design-driven, yet exquisitely crafted, our pieces are intend-ed to evoke a strong emotional response.

Founders

Luteca was founded in 2015 by Amanda and Sebastian Reant with the explicit intention of resuscitating under-recognized Mexican modernist classics. We have also built on that legacy by forging bonds with a new generation of design talents. Our archival re-issues and contemporary creations gather strength from the wealth of indigenous natural materials found in Mexico as well as the extraordinary craft capabilities that have been passed down through particular villages and families for centuries.

The brand was started as a vehicle to share their passion for Mexican design and culture. Having met in Los Angeles, the couple, of British and French origin respectively, bonded over their mutual love for Mexico and its vibrant culinary traditions, favorable climate, music, and fertile, yet under-represented design history.

Luteca is now headquartered in France with flagships in Mexico and Los Angeles, and It's from this international perspective that we continue to forge Luteca's path ahead. Our aim is to be both global and local at the same time, indoor and outdoor, championing the tropical lifestyle that our collections represent.
