Fresh finds New products to love

What’s new in the homewares scene – from our place to yours

Weft and wild

The Guardian collection by home textile designers Penney + Bennett features the colours and textures of the New Zealand bush. Mossy greens and blacks are offset by ethereal whites and botanical prints to create an atmospheric range of cushions, bedding and table linen. Visit

penneyandbennett.co.nz to bring a hint of the wilderness into your home.

Patch work

Jane Denton creates delicate fabric artworks in her Wellington studio and her new collection, Still, was inspired by the raw colours of the New Zealand coastal landscape – washed greys, greens and lots of white. Prices start at $420; view the full collection at janedenton.co.nz.

Simply white

Lovers of Japanese minimalism

will love the Yamazaki range, now available from Let Liv. These beautifully simple products for the home combine functionality with clean design and will complement

any interior with their crisp, white finish and clever magnetic detailing. We particularly love the storage basket, tool box and paper towel holder but you can find your

favourite item at letliv.co.nz.

A little bit of Zen

The new range of hinoki bathroom products at Everyday Needs is crafted by the Tosaryu company in Japan’s Kochi Prefecture, an area known for its high-quality hinoki (Japanese cypress) trees. These simple, beautiful, ecofriendly products will bring a sense of calm minimalism to your space. Prices from $19, at everydayneeds.com.

Case study

We love the new Modernist bookcase from Freedom, a glamorous, geometric take on the classic shelf arrangement. Have fun styling the stepped shelves and let this piece be a striking feature of your living area or study.
