Mexican-based designer and studio director Caterina Moretti of Peca, has designed a collection of sculptural furniture pieces made from volcanic rock.
The monolithic collection, titled ‘LOTO Roca’, includes two side tables, which can also be used as stools, that both have a textured black appearance.
