New Zealand doesn't have one climate. It has several, sometimes in the same week. Wire furniture that copes with a Christchurch frost needs something different from furniture built for Auckland humidity or a Wellington southerly.
Miranda designs every piece from Christchurch, but she's thought about more than one corner of the country while doing it. Steel wire furniture, finished with a PVDF base coat before powder coating, holds up well nationwide. Where you live shapes which range and which finish makes the most sense.
Christchurch and Canterbury
Where it all started. Nor'westers, coastal salt air and sharp winter frosts, and the furniture designed to sit through all three.
Humidity, rain and harbour air reaching almost every suburb. We recommend stainless steel for anywhere near the water.
Wellington
Wind that doesn't let up and salt air that gets everywhere. If your furniture can survive here, it can survive most places.
Queenstown and Wanaka
Real winters and strong summer sun, often within the same week. Built to handle both.
Wherever you're based, the same thinking applies. Stainless steel for coastal and high humidity areas, mild steel for everywhere else, and every piece designed to be repaired and repowdercoated rather than replaced. Buy less, use it more.
We ship across New Zealand from our Christchurch base, and you'll find us through stockists around the country too.
