“A rolling organic shape that defies seating, hand crafted with the use of modern machinery to create furniture on a global scale.”
New Zealand designed and manufactured, the Harper Chair by David Shaw is the canvas upon which these colour trends are explored. Made to order at their design house in Christchurch, the Harper chair draws its inspiration from the natural lines of our landscapes. Its organic shape emulating the natural movements and shapes of New Zealands beloved coastal regions and mountains. Constructed from sustainable timbers, the Harper chair holds the colours and texture of the Vintage Deux by Mokum velvet fabric beautifully, reflecting the truest essence of the colours in question.
“Colour trends inspired by our New Zealand landscapes, bringing calm and comfort.”
While nature itself has long been a common inspiration for home décor, in New Zealand this is particularly true as we are heavily influenced by our diverse and striking surroundings. Globally trending colours, blues, greens and blacks are epitomised in our unique tonal variations that can be found in our native forests, extensive coastlines and high country landscapes.

Donations can be dropped off directly at the Vinnies Welfare and Support Hub - level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown.
This foam wedge (1.80m) is meant to fill the gap between mattress and headboard/wall on a king size bed.
I suppose you could also put it in the middle of a bed to prevent roll together 😀
The cover can be removed for washing.
Free to a good home.
With the cricket set to start at the Basin Reserve tomorrow, we may finally be getting some better weather.

But it was one Wellington teacher Caroline Robertson rose to.
Robertson, a German teacher and director of international students at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, won the inaugural ASG Parents’ Award at the National Excellence in Teaching Awards, held virtually on Tuesday night.
Robertson, known to her students (and some parents) affectionately as Frau, said she felt humbled, and a bit overwhelmed, to have received the award.
The Newtown Vintage, Craft and Art Market is on AGAIN this Saturday! New stall holders on board this week to help you get sorted for Christmas. Wonderful locally, home made and eco friendly items!

Good things take time and the couple know this. And this is what makes their food so special.
At the Harbourside Market on Wellington’s waterfront every Sunday, Shree Balasubramaniam and Balu Rajagopal are famous for their South-Indian masala dosa.
The dish consists of a crunchy golden pancake-like roll made from rice and lentils, which are soaked and stone ground and then fermented for five days.
The batter is spread across a hotplate, then artfully rolled up to resemble a tent and placed on a plate on top of two tasty curries – one potato masala and the other, tamarind and orange.
