The San Miguel lounge chair is a timeless mid-century Mexican piece inspired by the classic Latin American Butaque chair famed by the likes of 20th Century Mexican architect Luis Barragan and Industrial Designer Clara Porset. Michael van Beuren, an American born designer trained at Germany's famous Bauhuas school, produced this award winning piece in 1941 for the MoMA's Organic Design Exhibition in New York along with it's sister-design, the Alacran Chaise - also now available by Luteca. These meticulously handcrafted reeditions honor the heritage of Mexican design and craftsmanship with updated modern innovation. Manufactured for both indoor and outdoor use, the San Miguel is available with nylon or leather strapping and a variety of beautiful hard woods.
