New Zealand's Definitive Design Destination

The Design Folio Xmas Party held last Thursday night at Inovo turned into quite the affair. Aided perhaps by the generosity of our sponsors Drambuie, Man O War Vineyards and Steinlager Pure, some of the architects present felt comfortable enough to slip out of their dignity and into the hot steaming Dimension One spa pools. An act greeted by both praise and awe from the guests who crowded around to get a look in. Thankfully there was plenty of water on offer from Premium New Zealand Trading Co to cool down the rising temperatures, before everyone hit the dance floor to cut shapes to the fine tunes of Mr Roger Perry.

Design Folio would like to thank all those who attended for helping make such a memorable evening. And of course our always supportive and generous sponsors!

Last Friday night Absolut vodka gathered together a cutting-edge collective of New Zealand artists and designers, sculptors and photographers, jewellers and tattooists  - all briefed to do things differently with familiar media: wood, silver, skin, film, paper and paint. The results were unveiled at an exceptional event with outstanding cocktails.

To celebrate the launch of our second issue we threw a party at the head quarters of Rhubarb Lane. Once again our fantastic supporters Man O' War Vineyards and Steinlager Pure helped the celebrations along with their fabulous libations. And the good folks from the Ponsonby Road Bistro whipped up batches of their finest Mac n Cheese, all the perfect ingredients for an excellent knees up!
