Mid-Century Furniture and Modern Design Icons

We curate rare and exceptional design from the mid-century modern era to the present. Our collection spans furniture, lighting, and decorative objects with a focus on authenticity, originality, and enduring quality. Vintage designs that bring heritage, sophistication, and character to contemporary interiors.

Our gallery represents Scandinavian, Italian, and British mid-century icons while promoting New Zealand’s modern design legacy. Collaborating with leading cultural institutions like Te Papa, Auckland Art Gallery, and Objectspace, we support awareness of influential local designers and their role in global modernism.

The Art of RESTORATION

Restoring a mid-century dining chair
Our restoration team carefully restore then hand weave the rope cord seat of a mid-century dining chair.
Conservation is at the heart of the Mr. Bigglesworthy offering — every piece is thoroughly checked and carefully restored. There is a focus on preserving the character and patina of each vintage item while ensuring it will display beautifully in a contemporary interior.

Our restoration work is performed on site, by hand, in our Kingsland workshop / studio. For advanced, museum quality restoration we collaborate with some of Auckland’s best restorers who have worked on items for Te Papa and the Auckland Museum.

You cannot understand good design if you do not understand people; design is made for people.
