Materials

Every Shrapnel piece begins with carefully selected wood, chosen for its elegance, integrity, and timeless appeal. Our portfolio of materials includes North American walnut, maple, ash, and oak, alongside British Columbia’s iconic fir and cedar. We also work with bamboo, prized for its refined look and sustainable LEED-certified sourcing. Each species brings its own character — from the warmth of cedar to the strength of oak — allowing us to craft objects that are as sophisticated as they are enduring.

Anodized aluminum brings a refined balance of strength and elegance to our portfolio designs. Lightweight yet durable, its satin-like, scratch-resistant finish delivers both beauty and performance. Beyond aesthetics, aluminum is also a material of integrity — endlessly recyclable in a closed loop, ensuring sophistication today without compromising tomorrow.

Our leather is carefully sourced from select North American tanneries, chosen for its refined weight, temper, and exceptional quality. Timeless and versatile, it lends itself to both classic and contemporary applications — from bespoke portfolios to innovative combinations with wood in our NOT YOURS collection. Finished with premium zippers and hardware, each piece is crafted to endure and to grow more beautiful with age, gaining a patina as distinctive as its owner.

Sleek, polished, and architectural in quality, our acrylics bring a refined modern edge to portfolios and presentation boxes. Substantial in hand yet elegant in form, each piece is designed to complement your brand with clarity and sophistication. When paired with precise branding, acrylic transforms into a timeless showcase that elevates your presentation with understated luxury.
