Chris Peck and his Los Angeles–based studio, Keita Design, were recently featured in the Los Angeles Times for their work transforming fallen urban trees into handcrafted furnishings.

Balancing sustainability with a refined, midcentury-informed sensibility, Keita Design produces limited works that function as both furniture and collectible objects. Read the full article in the Los Angeles Times and explore available pieces at Keita Design.
