About Us

Ico Traders is a small New Zealand furniture company founded in Christchurch in 2012 by Miranda Osborne.
Ico Traders designs steel wire furniture that is built to last, made to move around your life and designed to stay.
Every piece is named after a New Zealand place. Every colour is hand mixed. Every design is kept simple on purpose.
The furniture is made from solid steel, not tubular. It's powder coated and fully recyclable. It can be repowder coated when worn and repositioned from room to room as your life changes. Working for 13 years with the manufacturer means that the need for qualiy is understood. The range doesn’t chase trends. It doesn’t need to.
Ico Traders holds Zero Emissions Certification and offsets 120% of its carbon footprint, with proceeds supporting native regeneration on Banks Peninsula. Sustainability here is not a marketing line. It is a measured, documented, ongoing commitment.
The business is small, transparent and we are proud of what we make.
The philosophy is simple: Buy less. Use it more. Designed to Stay.

THE PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE: BUY LESS, USE IT MORE. OUR FURNITURE IS DESIGNED TO STAY.

A little bit about me:

I have always had an affiliation with design, firstly with a career designing and buying soft furnishing fabrics, then clothing.

When the Christchurch earthquakes turned our lives upside down, it forced me to rethink many aspects of my life. I decided to leave my job which required frequent overseas trips & look for a more sustainable career that allowed me to stay closer to my husband & 2 young daughters.

In 2012 I founded Ico Traders. I was working from home so it was a natural progression for me to start designing for in & around my environment. Wire furniture became my obsession & continues to this day. Designing is an ever-changing process & introducing furniture accessories to our range means that we can make more products here in New Zealand.

In 2026 Ico Traders is still a small kiwi company consisting of me, my part-time sidekicks Bridgett & Georgia & my constant furry companions.

"My aim is to design timeless styles without compromising innovation or functionality. I hope you love your purchases as much as I love designing them" -Miranda Osborne, ICO Traders
