Euro Bar and Restaurant

Euro bar and restaurant was completed and installed in late October, with a mammoth push to meet a tight deadline we are incredibly happy with the results. The large scale Candelabras bring the high stud down and wash diners with a warm glow from the hollowed out candles.

September update

Doors are open, we are the busiest we’ve ever been and are continuing to create unique lights for you!

This month we are working on a really awesome Chandelier called ‘Breezing’ we hope to have it finished and installed by the end of the month

We are also working on a home up at Tara Iti, this will continue through to 2021 but we are excited to start prototyping and creating some small scale models.

If you are interested in a piece for your home please contact us via our contact page, we cant promise you’ll get it this year but 2021 isn’t that far away :)

L'OR ASB classic Sculpture

At the end of 2019 we were approved to create a sculpture for L’OR Espresso stand showcasing at the ASB Classic.

We wanted to creating something with presence but that also fit with the luxury brand, not overbearing light but something more subtle and soft. Fathom is a series of hoops using Stainless steel and soft warm white LED - each hoop can be controlled and dimmer differently to create depth in the sculpture.

The overall sculpture created a focal point for the stand, great photo opportunity and complimented the brand well.

Open for business

The doors are open, the tools and materials are in and we are finally starting production back up after a mammoth move to our new location to Verrans Corner

Our new space is proving to be just the step we needed, we hear the Tui’s singing everyday, there is a friendly cat that pops by to say hello and orders are flooding to us!

We may be tucked away but our doors are always open and we would love to show you what we are getting up to in the run up to Christmas

Cheers!

New Studio

We are moving our workshop/studio! Over the past year our commercial projects have grown and due to that we have limited space in our Barrys Point Road location so we’ve decided to split our production into two.

Our new studio space is located at 3 Rangatira Road, Birkenhead and right around the corner will be our larger, messy workshop for all the chaos and creations.

We look forward to showing you new and beautiful designs and the doors are always open for you to pop in and have a chat, look at our designs and show us your grand plans.

We will be closing 38 Barrys Point road doors at the end of October, until then we are having a STOCK SALE so come and grab a bargain

Thanks for your continued support, we truly appreciate it
