Dreaming of summer break? Us too.
Four design destinations inspired by the holidays we all enjoyed.
As summer draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the moments that defined it. Our four moodboards capture the art of escape, inspired by some of our favourite holiday destinations. From the easy calm of the beach to the quiet stillness of the mountains, the creative energy of the city and the golden warmth of festival season, each look distils the feeling of travel through texture, tone and form.
The Beach: calm, sculptural, and quietly dramatic
The beach is the classic summer escape for Kiwis, a place where time slows, salt lingers in the air, and the simple pleasures of the season come into focus. The sound of the waves, the open horizon, or the way the light softens as the day drifts by is the epitome of a New Zealand summer.
This look captures that same sense of ease and restoration, translating the spirit of a summer spent on the coast into a moody, deep look.

The FITZROY Dining Table anchors the space with its curved timber form, paired with ALITA Dining Chairs that offer soft, textural comfort. The sculptural BUBBLE Vase and BY NIGHT Painting introduce movement and depth, while the TOCCA Bookcase adds balance with its open, architectural lines.
The Mountains: soft textures, slow moments, and warmth that feels earned.
For those who seeki cooler days and fresh mountain air, this look captures the calm of a green alpine escape. Think quiet villages, winding roads, and interiors shaped by nature, simplicity, and slower living

The AUDRI takes centre stage, offering a perfect balance of comfort and sophistication, paired with the soft texture of the EDEN Cushion for added warmth. Smooth oak finishes and gentle curves run through the space, anchored by the sculptural SFERA Buffet. The BRILL Table Lamp casts a soft, ambient glow reminiscent of twilight on snow-covered peaks, while the TOBIAS Pot adds a touch of organic elegance with its subtle, weathered sheen.
The City: Playful, bold, and full of energy.
If your idea of the perfect summer break involves culture, colour, and a constant sense of discovery, this look is for you. A fusion of city rhythm and creative expression which bold, dynamic, and full of life.

The Festival Golden light, relaxed textures, and a sense of celebration.
For those who spent their summer break at a festival, this look captures that carefree, sun-soaked spirit where music, colour, and connection take centre stage. It’s inspired by long days under open skies, the energy of a crowd, and the golden glow as the sun goes down.
