His dad’s army background has a lot to do with Tim’s passion for drums, which along with a legend dating back to the Crimean War, directly inspired this regimental range. Legend has it, a drummer boy who served with the British Army’s 77th Regiment of Foot caught his counterpart, a Russian boy trumpeter, gave him a good hiding and captured his instrument. No one knows his name, but our drums look like his would have looked. Every drum is handcrafted with traditional methods and authentic materials including vellum, hand-painted solid wood and leather.

For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment.
How do we achieve this?
We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.
What is great quality?
We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
