Our second exhibition of 2024 showcases contemporary New Zealand studio furniture. Featuring Alex Guthrie, Emile Drescher, Jeremy Evison, Josephine Jelich, Raimana Jones and Ted Synnott, this exhibition will showcase highly resolved and intensively crafted work in a time of easily accessed mass-produced furniture.
This exhibition brings furniture into the public eye not as accessories to a room, but as a highlight. In embracing the high level of craftsmanship that has been developed to create each piece, New Principles elevates furniture to objects of fine art.

This exhibition was born out of a casual conversation with a group of friends who had previously showcased a Textile Exhibition promoting all things textile, also held at Estuary Arts some years ago. There was a bit of reminiscing about the success and fun we had. ‘Eclectic” is the result of the conversation, which has taken on legs of its own and become very diverse.
There are 30 creatives several from the North Shore taking part in the exhibition, which will be featuring a variety of work.
All work on display will be as diverse as the creatives who have produced the work in their specific medium at:
Estuary Arts in Orewa 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa 0931
