Ngaio Rue

I consider myself super lucky to work where I do, but my job comes with some serious dangers.

We are first and foremost, an interior design office, but we also have a retail space which showcases tons of great kiwi design talent. And that's where I have to practice restraint every day.

Last week, we got a parcel in the mail from the talented Ngaio Rue. It was chock full of a collection of her beautiful hand tatted necklaces and earrings. I can't even begin to describe the detail in these, they're fantastic! And I have my eye on this one. It's my fav. I almost didn't want to put it out in the shop cos' I want it all to myself. I'd better not catch anyone attempting to buy it... look out!

esdesign - Wellington, NZ

Taking things back to the homeland for a moment, I just wanted to give a shout out and point you all in the direction of the recently up and running blog for Wellington based design store 'esdesign', which I have written about once or twice before.

If you are in Wellington and have a chance to stop by and see them on the corner of Marion and Ghuznee Streets you won't be disappointed.

They specialise in reviving tired, old, deco and mid-century styled furniture, as well as sell fantastic NZ designed homewares, offer a great interior design service, have a sewing room on site as well as a brilliant range of fabric sampling alongside their fabulous showroom. Phew! I think I've used up all my adjectives!

You can find their blog here to follow along with all their latest projects and happenings. Check it out!
