A&C In Christchurch
Alex and Corban worked together, merging their talents in designing, building, and styling to transform their first-ever South Island store into a one-stop shopping precinct for all things home and lifestyle, showcasing their mutual love for contemporary design.Â
Aiming to elevate and refine the retail presence while staying true to the brand, the spacious, understated design incorporates natural, earthy textures while infusing organic and authentic materials.
The paired-back space gives room to view and appreciate the products with more consideration and ease. Countertop material incorporates raw travertine, paired with American Oak furnishings and stone rendering on the walls giving the space a beautiful soft glow.
Explore Christchurch City
With the new store now open, we have had the opportunity to discover some of the amazing places throughout Christchurch. We’ve pulled together a few of our favourites to guide you through a day in the city...Â
Brunch
The Caffeine Laboratory
Views of the historic New Regent Street go nicely with the modern, delicious flavours served up at this café. The baristas sure know how to brew a good cup of coffee that complement their unparalleled menu including tapas-style plates, superb burgers, and some of the biggest and baddest chips in town.
Child Sister
Child Sister produces a lot of talk with its beautiful characteristic fit-out, prime city location, friendly staff serving up top-notch coffee, and delicious food full of mouth-watering classics and Korean twists that don't disappoint. Â
Art
CoCA
Open five days a week with free entry this slick and ultra-modern space in the centre of Christchurch is always worth a visit! Inside, the two-story gallery plays host to a revolving seasonal program of contemporary art from local, national, and international artists.
Markets
Riverside Market
Just a short stroll from our store, the Riverside Market bring fresh produce, artisan bakeries, and ready-to-eat goods all under one roof. Open 7 days a week, it’s the perfect spot to stop for lunch. We recommend the delicious Dermatitis kebabs.
Dinner
Earl
Earl brings a breath of European bistro culture to central Christchurch. Simple delicious food is done well and executed beautifully served alongside a selection of both local and international wines.
The Monday Room
Located in the only completely original building that is left on High Street post earthquakes, this divine spot boasts rate pre-quake vibes with brick walls, funky light fixtures and tall steel beams. Everything served is homemade and comprised of the freshest local ingredients.
Night Cap & Sweet Treat
Gin Gin, Rollickin' Gelato
Just like New Regent Street, these two destinations on the same road are just as colourful inside. Finish the evening with a whisky or a delicious cocktail at gin gin, then get your sweet fix at Rollickin’ Gelato. (We recommend the Hokey Tokey Pokey, yuuum)
Accomodation
The Muse Art Hotel
A perfect place to stay, this hotel boasts stylish décor, expressive local art, and features a long list of premium amenities, located in the heart of Christchurch. The best part? Only a 5-minute stroll to our lovely new store at The Crossing.Â
The Britten Stables
Centrally located, this incredible luxury home is jam packed with character and charm. If you’re looking for something a little fancy during your stay, we recommend making yourself at home in one of the 3 guest rooms and taking advantage of the indoor pools or views from the terrace and garden.
