A sophisticated blend of locally made wool upholstered seating and cloud-styled lighting enhances the ambiance of Gulliver International's first New Zealand showroom, creating a welcoming finance area that complements the automotive display.

Locally made wool upholstered seating and cloud styled lighting were chosen to add a soft aspect against the cars on display at Gulliver International's first New Zealand showroom for their finance area. Storage units line these walls and also provide a place to display artworks and the odd iMac, adding to the feel of the car showroom as a living room.

Fletcher Design Realm seating systems covered in pure New Zealand wool by Camira Fabrics add a warm foil to the hardness of the shiny vehicles.

We added custom made Cavalier Bremworth wool rugs from Artisan Flooring to further soften the space with wool.

New Zealand designed furniture keeps the theme strong in Gulliver's first New Zealand showroom. Kilims add practical softness and texture underfoot in this browsing environment.

While nodding to the design template the client brought from Japan we added locally designed pieces to "bring the atmosphere home to New Zealand".

With European and Japanese marques on offer in the showroom it was important that the surroundings complement the product without overshowing it.

Professional Reviews

“We have engaged Robert as a interior architect for our Newmarket (2014-2015) and Wairau Valley showrooms (2015-2016). Robert delivers on time and does not overpromise. He bills for his work on time and as per the schedule and quotations/estimates. He sees the projects through to their end and follows up after the completion. Robert conducts himself very professionally. He is very approachable and transparent and it is easy to follow through each stage. We hold Robert in very high regard and would not consider using anyone else for our design projects.”
