Matakana Hills.

The Brief.

It was our clients' wish to have furnishings that were in harmony with their beautiful rural surroundings and lifestyle.

The Design Process.

Our clients weren't sure which of their overseas furniture to bring to New Zealand. So we helped them choose pieces based on the design of their home; and when those finally arrived, they worked exactly as planned! We kept spaces easy to move around in and super comfortable. Soft furnishings were selected to complement their gorgeous surroundings using handmade NZ wool rugs, throws, accessories including our own collection of faux orchids and plants.
