Quarterly Update | Summer 2023

As we prepare to unwind from the year and pause for the holidays, we are reflecting with gratitude on all the challenging, but beautiful moments we have experienced in the last year. We are humbled by the support from our community, clients, suppliers and our families. Reflecting on the year, Emma was recognised as an Emerging Design Professional finalist at the New Zealand Interior Awards & Home Magazine Awards, we delved into the world of custom coffee table design and launched a new interior service. We have some large builds in construction which we look forward to sharing with you when as they near completion in 2024.

It is a privilege to delve into the inner-workings of one’s home, to design spaces that truly reflect the occupants that live within.  Our homes are spaces of comfort, respite, solace and have adapted with multiple uses.   We truly realise how home-making is such a fundamental to our wellbeing. 

We are taking this holiday season to celebrate, as well as visit Tasmania with family. We are excited to step into 2024 feeling connected to our purpose and our vision.

However you may celebrate, we wish you and your families a safe and wonderful Christmas & New Year.

Best wishes,
Emma


CLIENT FEEDBACK

It's such a special journey to be part of. A journey that involves a large puzzle to unravel in order to create spaces that reflect our client's way of life, which adding unique design elements.

Hi Emma, I’ve just had a longer look at the plans from today and really appreciate all you’ve done. Thank you so much for bringing this alive for me. Also loving the textures colours and beauty you have introduced. It’s so weird - forever we have just evolved our home in an eclectic and very haphazard way - so it’s curious to be curating it from the beginning, so thank you for bearing with us in this unfamiliar journey.

TURUA GALLERY VISIT

Long been on our to-do list was a visit to Turua Gallery. The big show of tiny work. Hard to choose one when we loved them all.


AALTO CHRISTMAS celebration

An afternoon with inspiring creatives, great food and hearing about the innovative products and new colours was just what we needed. The prettiest drinks were displayed on coloured plinths and we even had the opportunity to name some new colours.
