The New Zealand Merino Company (NZM) focus on redesigning the wool industry in addition to complimentary areas of New Zealand’s primary industry. Driving value for growing suppliers, by generating consumer demand at a retail level, and acting as a business extension for brand partners, NZM are positioned as strong innovators.
NZM were looking to move back into the Christchurch CBD, subsequent to the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes. As a leading company focussing on re-designing the wool industry, NZM wanted a sustainable workspace that truly reflected their values in innovation and their vision and purpose; ‘good for the world’.
Challenging what we know corporate design to be, a fresh, contemporary environment was collaboratively built with the creative team at NZM.
