In 2007, BOQA founder Julien Adam moved to Mexico and discovered the Acapulco armchair, which fascinated him. He met Mayan craftsmen who taught him how to make them from scoubidous thread and metal structures. His first armchairs were a quick success in Europe, and Julien decided to launch his company with French partners. The Acapulco armchair by Boqa design was born, and soon other complementary products joined his collection. The company became a 100% made in France furniture manufacturer.
