Our Design Ethos
The Corals are designed with our Saltwood principles and ethos in mind
Performance and Simplicity
Audio performance is the highest parameter. Good design is when nothing more can be taken away.
Natural Materials
All the wood is protected with natural oils which bring out the natural colours and the natural sound.
Timeless Design
We use a pattern language of design to ensure that design looks timeless, feels alive and can harmonise with your space.
Craftsmanship and Spirit
Experienced craftsmanship is required transform our ethos into a beautiful and high-fidelity product.
Mongoy, Oak or Walnut
Structurally sound construction, and natural wood fronts
Built with Birch and solid French Walnut, Mongoy or Oak. Matching pieces of wood (from the same tree) are used for the walnut fronts, which means that the speakers are truly a matching pair. The wood is sustainably sourced and FCS approved.
And it’s not just an audio experience. It is also a physical experience. Like the hull of a boat, or the bonnet of a classic car, these curves are an invitation to be held by the caring touch of a loving admirer.
The design is a combination of our love of music, a background in science, and the skill of wood-working craftsmanship.
