From landscapes to
the kitchen counter.
Ten years designing landscapes.
Then a closer look at something we use every day.
years in
landscape architecture
The scale changed.
The instinct didn’t.
After a decade in landscape architecture, we began to look at the kitchen counter with the same attention we brought to a landscape.
Salt was part of nearly every meal, yet its bottle rarely felt considered. We wanted to give the ingredient and the object equal care.
Good salt.
A thoughtful object.
A place in your everyday.
The research
left the desk.
We started with reading and conversations with producers. In July 2026, we travelled to western Sicily to see a salt factory, a mill and the pans near Marsala and Trapani for ourselves.

In western Sicily, we met the people behind the salt and saw the process up close.
Not just a place on a label.
A place to spend time, listen and learn.
A little less talking.
A little more looking.

The bird was
already there.
Flamingos visit the salt pans of Trapani. Pink Bird takes its name from that landscape, keeping a connection to the place where the salt begins.
