Regil de Yucatan a furniture company active in the Yucatan Peninsula, was known for its quality artisan furniture pieces produced in mahogany and cedar wood during the 1950s.
At that time, the company commissioned American interior designer Charles W. Allen, with a “Contemporary Furniture Line”, targeted to satisfy the taste of the American market.
Allen´s contemporary line made its way to Chicago and New York and to Mexico City through the DECOR, S.A showroom located on the elegant Reforma Avenue.
Charles W. Allen who was am “aficionado” of the native woods and natural finishes found in Yucatan, certainly achieved a smooth, sculptured effect with this Sui generis furniture line made in solid mahogany wood including hand-woven sisal and bright polished brass fittings.
