Petra is a massive volcanic stone dining table for indoor/outdoor use: a homage to the Mexican terrain that portrays its whims and character through its materials and impeccable craftsmanship. Through its surface, etched lines run connecting each of the three circles of polished stone strategically mirroring the monoliths underneath.
Caterina has the ability to focus her vision on the tiniest details of her furniture, accessories and interior design projects, while simultaneously looking to the horizon to direct her design studio. As a designer, her inspiration is in nature, in raw materials that offer multiple possibilities of shapes and textures, and in their ability to be transformed into everyday objects. Her passion for texture and contrast has translated into a range of objects that infuse the organic and subtle with an original point of view, always provoking a contemplative twist. Peca’s presence in awards, exhibits and retail spaces around the world is due to the careful selection of artisans and guest designers that Caterina she chooses to work with, as well as her unique spirit that allows her to flow in unexpected directions.
Petra Dining Table was designed for Peca Design Studio by Caterina Moretti, its founder, director, and head designer. Peca is a design studio established in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2007, inspired by the enrichment of day-to-day experiences by using natural materials, working with local craftspeople experienced in traditional techniques.
