Design Turnpike handmade originals are crafted with extraordinary attention to detail, blending creativity, precision, and a deep appreciation for Americana. Each piece is thoughtfully constructed using vintage license plates, reclaimed wood, and other found materials, resulting in a one-of-a-kind work of art that tells a story all its own. From the selection and arrangement of colors to the careful cutting and placement of each element, every step in the process reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and artistic expression. These pieces are more than decor—they are timeless tributes to travel, history, and American ingenuity.
While some designs can be recreated upon request, no two originals are ever exactly the same. The character of each artwork is shaped by the unique materials and inspiration behind it, making every piece distinct. As work in the studio continues to evolve, this page will be updated frequently with fresh creations, works-in-progress, and glimpses into the artistic journey. Whether you’re seeking a bold statement piece or a custom project with personal meaning, Design Turnpike originals offer something truly special for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
