1. Office siren
Deadly Ponies has turned everyday office essentials into art with their Fall ’25 collection ‘Shredder’. Inspired by the Pop Art movement’s celebration of mass culture, the collection is a nod to Swedish-American artist Claes Oldenburg who was known for his grand installations of items we use in daily life. Deadly Ponies’ applies this unique lens of creativity to its latest collection by whimsically interpreting the office shredder, as seen with the new Mr. Siamese Shred Bag. Graphite Calf Hair Leather conjures the image of a lever arch ring binder, while a silver-framed Mr. Minimese channels the forms and figures of metal paper clips. Featuring an array of hues that wouldn’t look out of place on a (incredibly chic) office desk – including off-white Eraser and classic blue Ballpoint – this innovative collection has never made us more excited to go to work.
2. Love is in the air
Still unsure what to gift your beloved this Valentine’s Day? We suggest indulging in a romantic staycation at The Hotel Britomart.

Nestled in the heart of lively downtown Tāmaki Makaurau, you have the option to step out for a night on the town at one of the neighbourhood’s outstanding restaurants and bars, or curling up for a night of room service in your serene, timber-lined room. Don’t you just love, love?
