Whether you’re in the market to refurbish your home or simply looking for modern inspiration, you can’t got past Simon James’ new furniture and lighting showroom on the ground floor of their Upper Queen Street space.

Sofa and furniture collections are offset by lighting from local designer Nat Cheshire and interior accents by Tom Dixon – with the raw honed wall panels, polished concrete floors and sheer drapes separating the showroom into a number of minimalist living spaces.

The design of the new space is a collaboration between expat designer Rufus Knight, who currently resides in Antwerp, and Simon James and is located at 61 Upper Queen Street, Newton, Auckland. For more information, visit www.simonjamesdesign.com.
