Our Story

Napo Runa is a lifestyle brand rooted in cultural connection, craftsmanship, and curiosity. 

We bring the traditions, stories, and artistry of global communities into everyday living through timeless furniture, home decor, incense, and fragrance.

Each piece is carefully curated or custom-made, drawing on artisan heritage from around the globe.

The name Napo Runa comes from an Indigenous group in the Ecuadorian Amazon who believe that humans, plants, animals, and even forests have souls, a belief that mirrors our own respect for natural materials, cultural memory, and meaningful design.

Founded by Lisa Taffin and Loek Janssen, two global citizens with deep roots in design, travel, and storytelling, Napo Runa is more than a brand. It’s a community of people who value beauty with depth, who want to live surrounded by objects that are made with intention, and who are drawn to the richness of culture and craft.

Whether you're furnishing a home, sourcing for a design project, or simply seeking something unique, come and join the Napo Runa experience.
