This year we've moved the gallery into a larger space on Auckland's city fringe at 86 Newton Road, Eden Terrace. For the first part of 2025 we have been editing and sympathetically renovating layers of the building's history. Now with photographer Simon Devitt we are able to showcase the architecture and the space we've created within it which celebrates the original structure.

Set on one of Uptown Auckland's main roads, the 900sqm gallery space is easily accessible and highly visible with a bold street front presence.

Brought together as a house of brands, Good Form now represents Mr. Bigglesworthy, our vintage foundation brand. With the updated space we have been able to showcase each brand in a considered, curated way. Referencing interior spaces we've seen in Europe and from high end interior designers, we worked with the industrial building shell and layered in a juxtaposition of contemporary fixtures with suspended lighting.

We also simplified the lines of the space, in collaboration with designer Gidon Bing. Revealing the texture and detail of the saw tooth roof at 86 Newton Road has been one of our major accomplishments in the first stage of creating the gallery. Previously covered by a layer of suspended ceiling tiles, it has been a huge process to celebrate the natural light and original architecture.

Vintage lounge pieces sit comfortably together with the 2065 Pendant Lamp from Astep and the Vienna Console from OMK.

Bedroom Designs from Ercol together with Reclining Figure Rug from Faye Toogood for CC-Tapis and artwork by Lottie Consalvo from Foenander Galleries.

Warm Nordic lounge pieces featured with Quadriligia Rug by Chiara Corbeletto for Dilana, Blockchain Pendant from Oblure, vintage desk from Gordon Russell from Mr. Bigglesworthy and artwork by Monique Lacey from Foenander Galleries.

The building was originally developed in the 1950s for Watson Steele & Ganley, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. We tracked down some pictures of the original look of the building and while working to edit and renovate the building ourselves it has been a process of discovery to see how the building was once used, likely with a mezzanine floor. We have gone through a careful process and pared back the spaces to reveal the sky lights and incredible saw tooth roof, making space for our collection of furniture, lighting, objects and rugs in an environment which doesn't hide the age of the building or the layers added by each tenant in its 70 year history.

From Dan and Emma Eagle – We want to thank our loyal friends and customers for supporting us through the last 14 years! It's been quite a journey, from a TradeMe account that became a business, we didn't expect it would grow so fast or so big but we're still collecting and restoring – now at a container scale to bring in enough pieces. There are always new challenges and we're grateful to everyone who helped us along the way. Through the store we've met the most incredible people in all sorts of creative fields and made life long friends.

Creating an immersive gallery experience has been something we've been working on and developing since the beginning. A place where the beautifully restored pieces can hold their own and offer character to current production designs from contemporary makers.
