STAPLE FURNITURE exhibits the best of contemporary New Zealand furniture design. It also displays Sally Shanks own designs in furniture, marketed under the name Staple. The result is a selection of furniture that is both personal and eclectic, housed in a space that is able to showcase each piece to its full potential.

STUDIO 66 is the contemporary jewellery gallery and workshop of Helena Andersson. Helena emigrated from Sweden in 2000 and her own pieces reflect the two cultures she lived in and lives in now. Studio 66 has two group shows each year and represents 20 New Zealand jewellers. Helena also exhibits her work extensively throughout New Zealand.

EARTH is the studio and gallery of ceramic artist Peggy Ericson. Her work is largely organic, simple and in response to her observations and surroundings. Her work is sculptural rather than functional. She uses natural oxides and slips rather than glazes. Texture and the language of the clay itself are her trademarks.
