Saladino - outdoor room, bench seat and pottery planters

Design icon John Saladino creates timeless interiors and classic landscapes. His ability to mix old with results in homes which are classic and sobering.

A serene outdoor room with thoughtfully positioned potted evergreens, a rustic galvanized panier, Alsatian chairs and a classic bench.
