Rito Lectern by Peca

RITO draws inspiration from the lectern — one of the most iconic forms of ecclesiastical furniture historically used to support sacred choral manuscripts before the invention of the printing press. Reinterpreted through a contemporary sculptural lens, the piece explores the dialogue between the private and the sacred, balancing architectural restraint with ceremonial presence. The contrast between weighty stone and refined wood construction creates a dynamic interplay of mass, texture, and form, giving RITO a monolithic yet deeply contemplative character. Crafted using traditional carpentry techniques, the piece is conceived as both functional object and personal altar — a space for books, collected objects, and individual rituals that transform everyday interiors into sanctuaries of personal iconography.
