Salter House’s nightgowns and rubber clogs and big floral scrunchies can be seen all over Bed-Stuy and Cobble Hill and Silver Lake. madelesque spoke with owner Sandeep Salter
On a recent Monday morning, Sandeep Salter walked quickly down Henry Street, rounded onto Atlantic Avenue, and pushed open the door to her shop. We wound past the marble café tables and the rows of horsehair brooms and frilly checked pillows and into the recent addition: a cozy extension to the store, opening November 11, out of which Salter will sell the clothes she designs.
In the four years since she and her husband, Carson, opened this 700-square-foot store — which adjoins her gallery and shop, where she sells artists’ editions and originals and puts on exhibitions — Salter House has become a surprisingly persuasive argument for Salter’s specific aesthetic. To enter is to imagine plastic was never invented; the home products are made of wood, straw, metal, cotton, and linen.
Salter grew up in a Georgian house in the London neighborhood of Primrose Hill. Both her parents are dancers: her father, Punjabi and Sikh and from Leeds; her mother, born to a bourgeois banking family in St. Louis. Her sister, Sita Bhuller, is an acrobat with Cirque du Soleil. Salter moved to New York for college, studying painting and performance art.
Once in Brooklyn, Salter started doing art consulting for private buyers and developers like Brookfield Properties. It helped keep Picture Room profitable, but she missed selling objects — so she and Carson, now a creative strategist, opened Salter House in 2018. “It was meant to be a place for local moms to come, because that was my world,” she said. “And I didn’t feel like, at the time, there was really a stylish place that you could come and buy things for kids.
