Remote cabin and hut on grassy hill beside a flowing stream, under a cloudy sky in a serene landscape.

Sälka is named after a mountain hut in Sweden

where I found the inspiration to design gear for artists, travelers & adventurers like you.

A hiker sitting on a rock in a mountainous landscape with a backpack, looking at a valley with a winding path and cloudy sky.

After hiking 300 miles through the Arctic Circle while painting en plein air, I found myself wanting a better way to carry and organize my art supplies. Something that was lightweight and water-resistant.

So I created Sälka to help other artists have better designed bags, pouches, and supplies whether they’re backpacking in the mountains or creating at home in their studio.
