Introducing Artisan Furniture...

Exciting things are happening here at Woodwrights! Woodwrights is now the exclusive partner for Artisan Furniture in New Zealand. 

You may be thinking, what is Artisan Furniture? Well, let us give you a brief insight into this exciting partnership. Think sensual and fluid form voiced through meticulous workmanship – this is a design language spoken fluently throughout Artisan Furniture’s entire collection. Artisan pieces are produced by talented craftsmen in Europe. Each furniture piece is handmade to order from solid timber. Clients are given the choice to select from six different solid timber options and various finishes to ensure they receive the best solution to complement their decor.  Initially commissioned by Dutch and British designers, the first collection was produced in 2007 in collaboration with regional designers.

Each award-winning collection since then has embraced both modern principles and traditional production standards. With Artisan lounge chairs, dining tables, dining chairs, sideboards and occasional pieces, there is no such thing as mass produced. Each piece is true triumph of unmistakable quality that will provide beauty and functionality for generations to come – a motto we live and breathe here at Woodwrights. 

Their way of work has seen Artisan win numerous global awards. Artisan furniture pieces have been winners of the Red Dot Award, Germany Design Award, Design Intelligence Award and Restaurant and Bar Design Awards.

We identified there was a gap in the New Zealand market for beautifully crafted and unique European designer furniture pieces. As Artisan’s sole distributor for this beautiful product in New Zealand we’re privileged to offer you the opportunity to explore Artisan furniture for yourself.

Let us give you an insight into one of Artisan’s most bestselling products – the Neva Chair. The Neva Chair features sensual and fluid form expressed through soft, angular edges and transitions. Its tilted and arched backrest flows down into the armrests, creating one continuous line that descends into the front legs. Besides the ergonomics, its delicate surfaces invite for additional tactile exploration. Supremely thin and light, the Neva Chair reflects the technological process which created such an exquisite product, a combination of 5-axis CNC technology, as well as meticulous hand finishing of experienced craftsmen.

The Neva Chair was designed in 2012 and premiered at the IMM Cologne in January 2013. Since then, it has been the bestseller for Artisan Furniture. It’s no wonder, just look at that craftsmanship!

The Neva Chair is available in 6 different types of solid timber (oak, walnut, maple, elm, cherry and pear), with various natural finishes available (oil and soaps). You can also customise the seat to suit your interiors, which can be ordered in solid wood or upholstered with a range of leathers or fabrics.

The Neva Chair is just one standout piece from the stunning Neva collection. The Neva collection was greatly inspired by natural forms and the simplicity and elegance of wood in nature. In the spirit of the Artisan company, the production of the Neva collection is an elegant dance of modern technology and artisanal handcraft.

Artisan’s stunning collections cover every room of the house. What makes Artisan so unique however, is the originality of their products, unlike any we have ever seen before. You will notice they are not over-complicated. Stripped back of all the unnecessary frills and details, the true quality and natural form of the product is captured in the most captivating way.
