Hasta La Ideas

Swiss manufacturer Peka’s no-nonsense tagline, “Fitting and accessories for the kitchen, bathroom and living area” belies a slick line of well-conceived product designed to use every square centimeter of space. The brand has eschewed the particle-board shelves we’ve become accustomed to on Planet Big Box and opted for laser-cut steel, providing the rigidity and durability required for their designs, which all move through space on various axes; they also allow for magnetic, user-configured dividers and cleanable mats.

While Peka already has a reputation in Europe, for North American designers looking to spec their stuff, you’d have to go through Richelieu, their Quebec-based distributor.
