MID-WEEK IN NEWMARKET

Wednesday 4 March is a journey through Newmarket’s premier design destinations. From the science of feeling to the art of luxury hosting, join us as we explore the intersection of beauty and function.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF FEELING AT MUUTO

Start your morning at the new Muuto store on Kent Street for “The Architecture of Feeling: Neuroaesthetics with Muuto”. Guided by David Mansfield, this session explores how our sensory responses to colour, light, and form shape our wellbeing. Discover how Scandinavian design principles can transform an environment into a catalyst for human flourishing.

THE ART OF LIVING AT COCO REPUBLIC

Continue your morning at Coco Republic for a masterclass in “The Art of Design”. Get an exclusive first look at their latest collection of luxury interiors and learn about the benefits of their trade programme. This interactive experience celebrates beautifully crafted pieces and includes a few special surprises for attendees.

EXPLORE THE NEWMARKET & MT EDEN CIRCUITS

Between sessions, use your Design Circuit maps to explore the showrooms and studios dotted throughout Newmarket and Mt Eden. This is a great chance to see the diverse range of creative businesses that call these neighbourhoods home and take advantage of exclusive NZDW visitor offers.

FREEDOM IN DESIGN WITH NERO TAPWARE

Join Nero Tapware and BathCo for a co-presentation on “Freedom in Design: A Low-Carbon Approach to Bathroom Spaces”. This panel discussion explores how architects can achieve their creative vision without compromising on environmental responsibility. Learn how innovative manufacturing and material selection can make a tangible difference to your project’s carbon footprint.

THE CULINARY CANVAS AT WINNINGS

Experience the future of domestic life at the brand-new Winning Appliances showroom. “The Culinary Canvas” reimagines the kitchen as a site of sensory innovation, exploring how high-performance technology and smart integration are evolving the “heart of the home”. Join designers and innovators to see how world-class engineering creates more intuitive hosting and living environments.

WORKPLACE ACTIVATION AT ZENITH

After a stop in Parnell to explore more of the circuit, end your day at the Zenith showroom for “Designing Activated & Connected Workspaces”. As the boundaries of the workplace continue to evolve, our panel will discuss how design empowers movement and meaningful interaction in hybrid environments. Enjoy curated cocktails and bites while we explore how activation turns possibilities into performance.
