Luna was founded in San Francisco in 1994, by Anna Hernandez and co-founder Michael Vanderbyl. They wanted to introduce textiles with a new sense of style to the contract furniture and hospitality markets.

As designers, we look to those who lead and inspire by example; individuals who have mastered their medium, whether it be art, design or architecture. We equally admire those whose creativity evades easy categories, who embody a daring sense of style or a refinement of taste that pervades their personality, seamlessly integrating life and work. At Luna, we recognize the debt we owe to others, and absorb the lessons of those whose achievements exert an enduring influence and who stand as icons of their time, past or present.

You will never see a chair in our advertisements, because Luna appreciates the intelligence of our audience. We showcase our designs in the form of handbags, chapeaux, messenger bags, shoes, and hatboxes. We’ve taken a more whimsical approach in our marketing to show how the fabric will tailor; how it visually translates when it is given shape with a nod to fashion.

We have always remained a small business at heart. Headquartered in a large, industrial building surrounded by shipyards and converted lofts in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood, Luna’s corporate environment invokes camaraderie and longevity with a small, dedicated staff, many of whom have been on board for longer than a decade. It’s not uncommon to find our head of operations weighing in on color selection in the design studio, or the vice president of marketing fielding inquiries in customer service. We bike to work, our dogs get cozy under our desks, and we’re perpetually torn between indie rock and classic soul internet radio stations. At the heart of Luna, we are a family.
