A Taste of New Zealand in New York

Here's another restaurant with a New Zealand connection - this time in New York.
Kiwi Matt Lambert is the executive chef and owner of The Musket Room, a fine dining restaurant in Noho, Manhattan. Lambert is joined by his wife, Barbara Lambert and restaurateur Jennifer Vitagliano in serving their unique and New Zealand inspired menu.
The Musket Room was designed by Alexander Waterworth, an interior design firm in London and these photographs were taken by Emily Andrews, a New Zealand born, New York based photographer. Love seeing Kiwis doing well overseas.

Stylish Bistro in Auckland

This week I am loving the interior of this Auckland eatery, St Heliers Bay Bistro.
Created by the successful Hip Group and designed by McKinney + Windeatt Architects Ltd, this bistro has a woodsy Scandinaivan feel with luxurious and modern details. The overall feeling is warm and classy . Apparently it has a delicious menu to match - check out the Eat Here Now review here. Nice.

Stylish Model Apartment from Sweden

This morning I was captured by the stylish living room above - isn't it great? Love the pieces - chair, tables, sofa, floor light and the awesome 'C' on the wall. I was sold in an instance. The rest of this model apartment for a development in Stockholm ain't too shabby either.

Ellis House on Remodelista

Remodelista are having 'Australia by Design' week and they have been profiling some great interiors, including this holiday rental, Ellis House. Located at Kyneton, about an hour from Melbourne, this 1860's four bedroom home has been renovated in a moody palette with lots of texture and rich details. Looks great.

Mirrors

Adnet Rectangulaire from Gubi

I have recently been looking for mirrors for a residential job and gathered this stylish selection. The striking Adnet Circulaire from Gubi has graced this blog before - now it has a brother called the Rectangulaire. It has a leather studded frame and is available in several sizes.
Another circle mirror option that we found was the Hay Strap mirror - similar idea to the Circulaire, however this one is simpler with a shorter strap. All are available in New Zealand from Corporate Culture.

Baker Stool from IMO

 

Baker stool

Lately I have been recommending to several of my clients the Baker stool by IMO. Simple and honest, this stool is made of solid oak on the seat top and legs, while the seat base and foot rest is in raw or powder coated aluminium. This solid and robust piece was a design finalist in the Home NZ magazine Design Awards 2013 and is now available in several colours and materials. What's even better is that it's made in New Zealand. Two thumbs up.
