Saligna Creations

 Where Enviromental Healing Meets Home Decor

Why us?

Saligna Creations is a proudly family-owned business, founded in 2022 and based in Cape Town, South Africa.

 

Our journey began in 2021 with an environmental restoration project on Muizenberg Mountain, where we initiated the careful clearing of invasive Port Jackson (Acacia saligna) trees. These alien species had formed dense, impenetrable thickets that were severely threatening the region’s endangered Fynbos vegetation and preventing its natural regeneration.

 

Rather than allowing the cleared material to go to waste, we transform it into beautiful, sustainable home décor. Branches are responsibly harvested, cut into manageable sections, and naturally air-dried. The sections are then kiln-dried at low temperature to ensure stability. Once fully dried, each piece is precision-sliced into rounds that reveal the wood’s unique grain and growth rings. Every slice is carefully inspected for any signs of wood-boring insects and returned to the kiln for final drying.

 

These distinctive wood rounds are then thoughtfully arranged onto frames crafted from upcycled pallet wood. A touch of colour is added where appropriate to complement the natural beauty of the slices, resulting in one-of-a-kind, eco-conscious wall art and décor pieces.

 

At Saligna Creations, we are passionate about combining environmental stewardship with artisanal craftsmanship — turning an ecological challenge into sustainable beauty for your home.
