Shwood "Salvaged Series" #1
Shwood has teamed up with local salvage specialists, Aurora Mills, to present the "Salvaged Series". Together the duo will scour the Oregon countryside to uncover and reclaim unique architectural materials and give them new life.
For release #1, Shwood travels to Salem, Oregon to tear down an abandoned barn dating back to 1910. Limited to 50 individually numbered pairs, the reclaimed Redwood used for the frames boasts an extremely textured exterior from 100 years of exposure to the elements. The frames are paired with an Oak wood interior for a classic two-tone aesthetic.
About Shwood:
Based in Portland, Oregon Shwood creates handcrafted wooden eyewear using fine exotic hardwoods.
Shwood’s in-house manufacturing process merges precision technology with classic skilled craftsmanship to create a timeless art form. Every step from veneering and precision lens cutting, to shaping and finishing is conducted in our own Portland-based workshop to promise an entirely handcrafted eyewear piece.
