Peca. (Spanish) n. A freckle. 

For this independent design studio based in Guadalajara, Mexico, it’s all in the details.

Since 2007, Caterina Moretti has inspired the brand with her passion for natural materials, exploring texture and form, and bringing nature indoors in surprising ways. Collaborations with local artisans and guest designers have contributed to the spirit of Peca, resulting in a catalog innovative and rich in tradition. Peca welcomes custom projects alongside their own collections of furniture, accessories, and interior design.

Head designer and studio director, Caterina Moretti possesses the rare quality of overseeing her designs while still maintaining her focus on the direction of Peca. Inspired by nature, raw materials with endless possibilities of shape and texture, and their capacity to be transformed into everyday objects, Caterina’s zeal for texture and contrast has translated into a wide arrange of objects that invite contemplation and infuse the organic and subtle with an original point of view.
