Materials & Finishes
The tactile quality of materials brings soul to a space. We source with intention, selecting finishes that age beautifully and connect us to the natural world.
Honest materials, enduring beauty
We believe in materials that tell a story—that develop character over time rather than merely deteriorating. Natural stone from New Zealand quarries, solid native timbers like rimu, tōtara, and kauri, handmade ceramics from local artisans, and quality textiles form the foundation of our material vocabulary. These choices create interiors with depth, warmth, and lasting appeal that reflect New Zealand's natural beauty and craftsmanship heritage.

Grounded in earth
From New Zealand's own greenstone-inspired palettes to Italian marbles and French limestones, we select stone that brings the natural world indoors. Each piece carries unique veining and character, creating surfaces that are both practical and beautiful.
We work with local stone suppliers as well as international sources, always prioritising quality, sustainability, and the specific needs of each project.
New Zealand craftsmanship
Native and sustainable timbers form a cornerstone of our material palette. Rimu, kauri, and macrocarpa bring warmth and connection to place, while oak and walnut offer international versatility.
We partner with local craftspeople and joiners who share our commitment to quality, creating bespoke pieces that will be treasured for generations.
Comfort and texture
Textiles add the final layer of comfort and personality to a space. We source from quality mills and weavers, selecting natural fibres—linen, wool, cotton, silk—that feel as good as they look.
From upholstery to window treatments, every textile is chosen for durability, tactile pleasure, and visual harmony with the broader design.
Palettes rooted in nature
Our colour selections draw from the natural world—the soft greys of coastal stone, the warm ochres of earth, the deep greens of native bush. These hues create calm, grounded environments that feel connected to the New Zealand landscape.
