A Message from PECK:
This year, PECK is honored to sponsor Pasadena Heritage’s 29th annual Bridge Party, a celebration of the iconic Colorado Street Bridge and a symbol of the city’s commitment to historic preservation and community identity.
At Keita, PECK’s furniture making enterprise, we believe that preservation is not just about protecting what was; it’s also about extending the life and meaning of our shared built and natural environment.
Pasadena’s Iconic Colorado Street Bridge
From fallen trees to future heirlooms:
At KEITA Design, we believe wood tells stories. Some grow slowly under Pasadena skies, shading homes and lining boulevards. Some fall after decades of drought, development, or storms. But even in loss, these trees still have something to say.
That’s where we come in.
As a handcrafted furniture enterprise, KEITA Design exists at the intersection of preservation and reimagination. We salvage fallen and removed trees from Pasadena, South Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and even Bel Air, and transform them into custom-designed tables, benches, shelves, and sculptural pieces that carry the memory of place forward.

A Tree Falls, We Listen
Each tree we mill is tagged with its location and story. From a beloved Coast Live Oak street tree in South Pasadena to a swirling Eucalyptus from Johnston Lake, we mill, season, and shape the wood with care and intention—keeping it close to home and giving it a second life as a future heirloom.
These aren’t just beautiful objects, they’re part of a larger philosophy: reuse over waste, local over imported, and legacy over trend.
Just as CM PECK helped preserve Pasadena’s La Loma Bridge through advocacy and design, KEITA Design honors that same ethos, preserving our natural and cultural heritage, one tree (and one table) at a time.
Whether you're sitting at one of our tables or walking across a historic bridge, we want you to feel rooted in the story of this place.
