Locally made wool upholstered seating and cloud styled lighting were chosen to add a soft aspect against the cars on display at Gulliver International's first New Zealand showroom for their finance area. Storage units line these walls and also provide a place to display artworks and the odd iMac, adding to the feel of the car showroom as a living room.

Fletcher Design Realm seating systems covered in pure New Zealand wool by Camira Fabrics add a warm foil to the hardness of the shiny vehicles. 
We added custom made Cavalier Bremworth wool rugs from Artisan Flooring to further soften the space with wool. 
New Zealand designed furniture keeps the theme strong in Gulliver's first New Zealand showroom.  Kilims add practical softness and texture underfoot in this browsing environment. 
While nodding to the design template the client brought from Japan we added locally designed pieces to "bring the atmosphere home to New Zealand".
With European and Japanese marques on offer in the showroom it was important that the surroundings complement the product without overshowing it.

About the
Professional

Macfarlane Design is a family-run interior architecture and design studio based in Auckland.  We design residential and commercial interiors in buildings from all eras. Focussing on the context of the building, its site and location,  our endeavour is to create spaces relevant and appealling for today and durable into the future. 

We strive to bring a timeless authenticity to our projects by paying close attention to and enhancing existing characteristics. By subtly contemporising them with appropriate new elements we bring about the most effective and memorable result for you, the client.
