Saltwood Designs has been in business for over 5 years now and in that time has created some really unique pieces. Karl, the designer, really loves the disciplines that allow him to design and build. Its almost like a meditation for him. Every project is different and that brings a great deal of satisfaction to the designer. "Creating something that wasn’t there before is so exciting, this all comes from working with the clients initial idea." Whether its meeting Karl in his workshop to go over your ideas and designs or even a friendly phone call to discuss your concepts. Your vision is where it starts and Saltwood will make sure they don't miss any details.
Jarrah Record Cabinet
Bringing their old floorboards sourced from their refurbished apartment. The client wanted to reincarnate their timber back into their home in the form of a record cabinet. Recycling and the story behind it was very important to them. The client came up with the design and Karl took that into the workshop. finished in house with acrylic satin polish. Delivered and installed by Karl, it now sits in their living room fully stocked with lots of records.
Saltwood hasnt really found its "style" yet but we know from Karls love of Scandinavian and Danish furniture that those influences definitely comes through in his pieces.
