SEA HERE & THERE

Not all art has to hang on the wall and this sculptural beauty is an investment piece that’ll bring you joy in vignettes all over the house. It’s by Auckland’s Jark Pane, who’s definitely one to watch — and, incidentally, a classical pianist. Inspired by the seaside and her love of nature, Jark’s debut collection Soraā: Tones of the Tide includes an exquisite array of blown- and cast-glass objects, like this Soraā shell (Korean for ‘conch’, in homage to her heritage), which ever so slightly changes colour throughout the day, depending on the light. museart.nz

LOOPED IN

Keeping you abreast of recent happenings in architecture, FYI West Auckland’s mid-century masterpiece Brake House (designed by architect Ron Sang in the 1970s for photographer Brian Brake) has had a bit of an update. To uphold the iconic home’s history, Bremworth’s retro-ish Galet carpet in Sienna was selected for the floor for its gorgeous New Zealand wool woven in a random loop-pile style, creating textural interest through its irregularity. bremworth.co.nz

NICE THREADS

There’s no rest for the wicked, but those of us not on the naughty list can enjoy some extra-virtuous shut-eye tucked up in this Forestcoloured duvet set by Cultivar now available at Father Rabbit. It’s 100% linen (which requires less water and fewer pesticides to produce than cotton), breathable and long-lasting, and has been stonewashed for softness from the get-go. > fatherrabbit.com Rosetti Olive

DAILY HABIT

Thanks to its walnut frame of intersecting boards and dowels, the Daily armchair by David Moreland and Nikolai Sorensen for Città is a veritable party in the back, while the cushions can be covered in your choice of fabric — and this seriously cool corduroy means business. Given it looks so swish from all angles, we predict your biggest challenge won’t be where to put it, but how to carve out as much time as possible to spend on it. cittadesign.com

MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

Plan to have some fun with flowers via this chic clay vase handmade in Auckland in a collaboration between floral design studio Isadia and ceramicist Misma Anaru. It’s segmented to ensure arranging’s easier, though Isadia’s Isabel Johnston and Lydia Reusser do love unstructured styling that allows you to follow your artistic instincts and nature’s lead. isadia.co.nz
