Who are we
In 2011 industrial designers Rebecca Asquith and Tim Wigmore teamed up to exhibit their latest designs under a new brand; Designtree. Combining their talents and strengths the business has expanded into a nimble design team with strong networks of high quality suppliers and retailers.
What we do
We design high end furniture and lighting products with care and attention to detail searching for the smoothest function, sensuous materials and the most talented local manufacturers to produce our designs. All of our products are made here in New Zealand.
Who we work with
Like minded individuals and businesses who care to preserve the natural environment
