Striking and sculptural, this pair of NZ-made Airest armchairs showcases crisp, angular mahogany frames with beautifully softened edges and a confident mid-century stance. Dynamic open arms and gently reclined backs create an easy, lounge-ready silhouette, while the solid timber construction offers lasting strength and warmth.
Newly upholstered in an inviting textured neutral fabric, they balance clean lines with plenty of comfort and character. A refined pair for a living room, studio, or reading nook—equally strong as a matched set or styled apart.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior...

Pair of Sleek NZ Made Mahogany Armchairs by Airest
GOOD FORM, 86 Newton Rd, Eden Terrace, Auckland.
Airest was established in 1948 by Ces Renwick. Renwick also became head of the Furniture Manufacturers Association, offering him the ability to stay on top of the latest furniture design trends. With such great credentials, the company quickly acquired a share of the market for contemporary furniture.
Airest furniture was stylish and affordable, designed for middle class suburban New Zealanders who appreciated good design. During the 1960s Airest expanded quickly with help from government import restrictions. By 1969 it had become New Zealand's largest furniture maker.
During the 1960s Airest secured licenses to produce the suite of highly successful designs from Australian company Parker Furniture. Parker Furniture was pitched at the top end of the market. It focused on cutting edge Scandinavian design "for those who make living an art".
