Corcovado Trent Slater

Corcovado’s furniture, lighting and homeware designs place nature in the space – the use of a natural colour palette, natural materials, natural shapes and human processes (handmade pieces that are humanized by their reflection of the craftsman’s hand) – to create visual and tactile connections with living systems.

Connections with nature are vital to maintaining a healthful and vibrant existence as we have developed into an urban species. Developing spaces within nature, and placing nature in our spaces helps recreate the mental healthiness and tranquility we once felt as a species that lived entirely in the natural environment. All our designs follow this philosophy, and many of our designs can only be found at Corcovado.

We believe that well-designed, handmade furniture, made in small runs and created from natural, sustainable materials truly impacts mental health and emotional well being.

Almost every piece that forms part of the Corcovado furniture range has been designed by Larissa Hamilton, our Creative Director, here in NZ. We consciously choose to work with, and support, other small New Zealand businesses, local NZ manufacturers and talented NZ artisans, including in the making of our sofas and arm chairs.

We also choose to work with small family groups of creative craftspeople living in Indonesia for our wood and rattan items. Having lived in Indonesia for 3 years, with our young children, we understand what every order placed means to the families we work with.

Thank you for supporting our business. We hope our unique range resonates with you, allowing you to create a haven for your own family too.
