WE LOVE...

our new industrial shelving unit! made of old fishing boats rescued from the 2004 boxing day tsunami, the shelves are beautifully crafted. very similar to two pieces of art nik created last year from old weatherboards on waiheke island - thanks dan and suz.

ALL RUGGED UP

graphic designers are needed everywhere. check out this rug we worked on with the interior designers at Dece Design. we used a combination of graffiti, photography and typography to produce this 200cm x 300cm rug. It's made from 100% nz wool and has a stippled background to show graduation in the brickwork.

PLEASURE IN THE JOB PUTS PERFECTION IN THE WORK

greek gods come up with some pretty clever stuff. like this quote from Aristotile. we loved it so much we created 8 limited edition hand-made prints. two framed pieces are still looking for homes. contact us or Next Door Gallery, Birkenhead, Auckland.

QUIT YOUR JIBBER JABBER

working with our latest client, Rydges Hotels, we have come up with a fun take on working out at the gym. This concept uses some familiar faces from the 80s including the Mayor of California in all his prime! Now flex, flex, flex and smile.

YOU WANT TEES? WE GOT TEES.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME

not so long ago, we got the call up from moochi to help design a pattern for their new store counter. with rubiks cube concentration, the idea transformed into this beautiful store counter made of mirror, satin and mill finished aluminium. need an excuse to pop-in? go and visit this metal masterpiece at their flagship store - moochi corner. no finger marks please!

RUN FOREST RUN...

nik's been at it again - doing MOUNT DELUXE proud! he and his out-door pursuits manager kelly 'extreme' cashin have been navigating their around way around farmland way out west. this time it was for the Rogaine Lactic Turkey race. they were quite impressive and took out the mens division with speed and finesse! nice one boys.

STOP, DROP AND ROLL

riding the wave that is street art we found these little gems while out cruising. after doing a bit of research we found out that this is not an isolated phenomenon... you can see one for yourself on the corner of Esplanade and Mt Eden road right here in Auckland! foot note to the council... this wasn't our own work, we just wish it was!

WE LOVE THESE CHAIRS

we couldn’t resist showing you the new meeting table! quite a treat after a good old fossick through trade me. that old antique table we’ve been searching for is just going to have to wait a few more years after finding this little beauty. our only real disappointment was discovering we didn’t get the apple tree with it...

LITTLE BUSHMAN T-SHIRTS

when the mount maunganui good times group approached us to design a t-shirt for the mangawhai Little Bushman concert we jumped at the chance. our brief was to ‘make it look cool’ so we armed them with a collection of custom stencils and a can of fluro spray-paint. nice result guys. special thanks to greg for the pics and creative management on the day.

SEND US NICE THINGS LIKE POSTCARDS...

thanks to our friend fi, we have an amazing collection of postcards. we especially love ones that make us jealous from your trips abroad. to brighten up the office we have decided to install a postcard wall, and would love a postcard from you! then you can send the link to your friends and say ‘that’s my postcard on the internet woo hoo!‘. you can also send us anything else you think will get through the post. like a bag of minstrels from London or a bag of fejioas from Te Puke...
