YS spells YES

A big ae bro to the Silo pendant (with Profile stool)

Introvert light turning me on and on

The boys (they're men) at YS Collective just sent me these images of their babe'n product range. With this as the debut I can't wait to see what's coming for the sophomore collection... 

Tim Webber Side Table

New Zealand designer Tim Webber's Y Stools just got a new cousin, the Y Side Table.

New Zealand's own Spindle Back (sounds like a spider, actually a babe'n chair design)...

This one relates to yesterday's post about new design store Paper Plane... but I reeeeeeeeeeally felt it deserved its own separate post. 

We've (well I've, and maybe you've) spent years oohing at Danish & British spindle back chairs... and now here comes Timothy John, making a NZ spindle back we can be proud of. A future timeless classic (does that make sense?), The Nordic is handturned by a local master craftsman and priced at $690. Available exclusively through Paper Plane.

Pegboard Perfect

My love has come along...

White Pegboard sideboard ($705) and bedside tables ($592 each) from NZ's Homebase Collections.

Matt Smith's been busy

NZ designer Matt Smith (of Common Goods) is a busy guy. 

He just finished the design & built of an off-licence cellar door for Garage Project - a Wellington craft beer brewery...

 

hi there, white subway tiles

 

(Nice photos, Michael Valli)

And.... he also started a small furniture co. with an American friend. They've called it Thing Industries. 

The 100% table is all-parts awesome. 

You buy two 50% tables to make a 100% hexagon. Available all yellow, all white or half-and-half.

I want an all white one for my place please Matt.

...Matt?

Birdhouse bed-side unit

Sacrificial chair

Worthy of a Gold

NZ designer Nathan Goldsworthy has been a busy boy. His new Monarch series just won a finalist placing in the annual HOME design awards.

As did his new Kimono stool...

 

 

But my favey fave is the Halo stool, now in timber. 

I can see your Halo (halo halo) oo-ooo!
Yellow oak Halo, please come and live at my house.

PS: You can buy Goldsworthy furniture directly from Corporate Culture.

NZ Furniture Design - 2013 Award Winners...

The June issue of NZ's HOME magazine has the best looking cover on shelves this year. So good! 

(Credit where it's due - the cover was styled by Juliette Wanty and Sarah Conder and photographed by Toaki Okano.)

It's HOME's annual furniture design awards issue, and the finalists include...

David Moreland's Elevation range...

The Baker stool by IMO. 

(Love the aluminium details - can I request one in gold instead of silver?)

Tim Webber's new Switch floor lamps.  

I spy a wood turned American Ash fitting that acts as the on/off switch... very cool.
