Still life - organic pallette

Create some calm

New Zealand design company Città has launched Still Life – their Autumn/Winter 2020 collection. This collection celebrates the simple beauty of objects and invites you to appreciate the still life compositions in your home.

Still Life's organic palette takes inspiration from nature, with calming tones of mossy green, earthy brown, smoky pepper and warm biscuit. The materials of the collection give a further nod to nature with relaxed linen, cosy wool, warming wood and hand-woven baskets.

Settle into the perfect winter's day as you seek moments of calmness and allow yourself to be truly still. Available in store and online now at www.cittadesign.com.

The new DF990 gas fireplace has been expanded vertically, with a glass window height of 760mm. The large firebox makes for a grand statement, especially when teamed with a traditional mantel, also available from Escea.

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect

Rust never sleeps

Once applied, it provides you with the aesthetic effect of rusting that, like normal rust, will continue to develop as the coating ages.

Alkyd hybrid paint technology

Hybrid technology worth the hype

Brand new waterborne alkyd hybrid technology has arrived, combining the best of solventborne and waterborne paints! This new evolution keeps the environment in mind and boasts added performance benefits. They may look like a traditional solventborne paint but they share the easy water wash-up and lower VOCs of a waterborne paint. While slower to dry, waterborne alkyd paints have a tougher finish than waterborne enamels and give you more time to work the finish without excessive brush or roller marks.

Resene Room Velvet is now available as a waterborne alkyd finish. Find out more at your local Resene ColorShop or reseller, www.resene.com/colorshops.


Artwood cushion range

Fresh threads

Inspiration from around the world, ethnic patterns, amazing shapes and natural materials have all come together with an exciting new cushion range from Artwood, like these Valldemosa and Pollenca woven designs. It is the details that make all the difference. To see the full range, visit www.artwood.nz.


Pleated blinds

Pleated blinds never looked so sweet

Energy saving is becoming a high priority in our lifestyles and the Honeycomb range of pleated fabrics is perfectly suited for this trend. Their honeycomb structure traps air in the inside layers, providing superior insulation in the winter and keeping the room cool in the summer. Honeycomb pleated blinds are available in an expansive range of 45 fashion colours with both block-out and light filtering fabric types. They can be operated manually with a cord lock system, cordless system or – for the ultimate in convenience – motorised and controlled by remote or your smart phone. Motorised options are hard wired or powered by rechargeable lithium batteries with discrete solar panels to boost battery life. See the full range of options available at www.window-treatments.co.nz.


Resene Wintergrade paints

Don't let your paint catch a cold

Painting in winter can be challenging with the cold temperatures and humidity from wet weather slowing drying time and potentially affecting the finish. The tech experts at Resene have a solution: Resene Wintergrade paints and Resene Wintergrade Additive, designed to dry in temperatures down to 3°C. The Resene technical team first developed a small range of winterised products that will dry in cold temperatures, which have been used in winter conditions for over 10 years.

To make it even easier to choose a wintergrade finish, Resene now offers Resene Wintergrade Additive, which you can add to a range of selected waterborne Resene paints to winterise them. This will enable you to achieve a wintergrade finish in a wider range of products and colours. Resene Wintergrade paints are available from April to August from Resene ColorShops and selected resellers. Learn more at www.resene.com/wintergrade.


Shed's furniture range

Fun-ctional furniture

Functional design and fabulous colour come together in the Shed's furniture range. Designer and craftsman Craig Poad hand crafts every piece from cabinets to hall tables to entertainment units. The Valorous Longboy (pictured) makes a statement stained in Resene Colorwood Satin Orange waterborne timber stain and Resene Aquaclear waterborne urethane. All designs can be modified to suit customer requirements – perfect for those seeking a particular shape or colour. To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/intheshed17.
