TAKE IT SLOW

Cult design concept store SLOW—who you might recognise as a regular feature on many of Queenstown’s must-visit lists—is opening its very first Auckland showroom in the heart of Ponsonby. In little under three years since its opening down south, SLOW has earned its rank as the destination for premium designer furniture and homewares, thanks to its ever-stylish Danish aesthetic that transcends trends and heroes form, function, and sustainability. Founder Martina Blanchard’s expertly curated environment will continue to carry SLOW hero brands such as FRAMA, New Works, and Ferm Living, with a selection of new designers, such as Byron Bay’s Sarah Ellison, and the introduction of antique European furniture hand-selected by Blanchard herself.
