Furniture Design

Ernesto Santalla, PLLC— formerly Studio Santalla— works hard to find the appropriate furnishings for every space. When an off-the-shelf product is not the right fit, we create furnishings and built-ins to suit our client’s needs. The following products are examples of Studio Santalla custom designed furnishings, used in a variety of different residential and commercial projects.
