CULVER CITY CREATIVE OFFICE
In collaboration with RADAR, SALT designed a collection of integrated interior furniture in a new office for a creative tech brand that specializes in urban lifestyle and fashion.
The design is composed of a series of CMU planters and Coastal Live Oak furniture. CMU was selected to bring in an element commonly found in urban environments, a texture that reflects the company’s brand identity. Coastal Live Oak, collected locally and treated by Angel City Lumber, are stained black to express the rich structure of the grain and surface in light and shadow.

The typology of each individual piece is unique and serves a specific use in the space, yet the material palette and general style all fit within the same family. As a result, the collective becomes a series of art pieces that are specific to the spatial conditions.
While planters are nestled within the programmed space, a central sculptural wood piece serves as a spine that respects the emptiness of the open corridor. Planters also work as components to emphasize the verticality connecting the ground floor and mezzanine.
We collaborated with Inner Gardens for curation and maintenance of the specimen plants. Each was selected at their nursery and specifically located within the spatial condition at site.
