About

Pájaro Loco is a Peruvian design studio committed to its social and environmental surroundings.

They specialize in creating utilitarian art and furniture for the restaurant sector, merging research, creativity, and a deep connection with nature.

Each unique piece is hand-carved from sustainable woods in a dialogue between the craftsman and the material.

The experimentation with natural clays collected and processed artisanally in the Amazon region provides a unique finish to the high-temperature ceramic pieces.
