Going Green - CarbonShack Design

 CarbonShack Design, a sustainably-focused residential design and interior products firm, embraces and teaches the message of sustainability in every beautiful way it can. This includes furnishings that artistically celebrate biophilic design, reuse salvaged wood and vintage materials, ensure they support the sustainable tenet of local manufacturing and sourcing (usually within 300-400 miles), and support the local artisan community. CarbonShack even recently added to its sustainable bonafides a new furniture line, “Bright Seas”, which is literally made of marine plastics removed from our oceans, and will formally debut at WestEdge Design Fair in November.


“Bright Seas” epitomizes what CarbonShack does everyday: embrace reuse and salvage; repurpose; and apply conscious materials-planning in every aspect of interior design; with beauty, functionality, high-quality and low-waste as the guiding lights. They do this by working with local artisans, through a series of Tables, Casegoods and Seating offerings that fit into most every setting.


CarbonShack products are made locally or within an environmentally-conscious distance (300-400 miles); they are made by local workers, including individual artisans; and employ manufacturing processes that minimize environmental impacts. While understanding the idea behind embodied carbon through a home’s frame or concrete foundation can sometimes feel abstract, CarbonSchack hopes that exposing clients to home design products will encourage an easier, more tangible path to environmental understanding, while achieving their premier interior design goals.


As a design firm that explores the seen and unseen natural world through luxurious interiors and singularly unique home furnishings, CarbonShack hopes to inspire homeowners to be stewards of the environment. To do so, they know that beauty, craftsmanship and efficiency are of the utmost importance.


CarbonShack was launched in 2017 to both inspire and help homeowners be stewards of the environment. The CarbonShack team of architects, interior designers and in-house tradesmen design and build shelters that are first and foremost beautiful. From the ground up, the company combines time-honored, nature-focused building strategies with modern technologies and interior products, to create wholly new and revolutionary ways to live sustainably in our built environments. The company is a complimentary companion to owner Steve Pallrand’s design/build company, Home Front Build, which restores and remodels an array of unique historic Los Angeles homes.
