02 How would you describe your design style?
I would say my design style centres around natural products with sustainability in mind. I love vintage and op-shopping, so I have a few beautiful mid-century furniture pieces mixed in with lovely linens and cosy textiles. My space is a mixture of the old and the new but it always feels like a work in progress!
03 Where's the next place on your travel bucket list and why?
Next on the list is Japan - for the amazing design, architecture and culture, and of course the food! Ideally could squeeze in a bit more of Asia on the way home, Phillipines is also very high on the list.
04 What’s your favourite way to spend a day off locally?
If I’m in the mood to treat myself, I’ll go for brunch at Duo, get my nails done over at Green Nails, go for a walk in one of the local bays and finish off with dinner at Mulan.

02 How would you describe your design style?
A little bit eclectic - I definitely sway towards colours and materials from the 50's, 60's & 70's but like to add a few contemporary pieces into the mix. I try to buy items that I know I am going to love forever whether that be secondhand or new.
03 Where's the next place on your travel bucket list and why?
I've always fancied a Greek island getaway, but hasn't everyone!
04 What’s your favourite way to spend a day off locally?
I love to wander through the Centra Flea Market in Mt Eden on a Sunday morning, looking for treasures to add to my little collections. Crown Lynn plates and jugs, and amber glassware always draw me in (but I don't really need anymore!) A coffee will be needed somewhere along the way. Maybe a walk on Takapuna beach with a gelato if the weather is being kind.
Meet Hannah at our Bloc, Mt Eden Store.
01 What products are on your wish list at the moment?
02 How would you describe your design style?
It’s definitely an eclectic mid century inspired style. I tend to pick pieces more on the basis of liking them as an individual piece, rather than in terms of cohesion with the rest of the house. I see every piece of furniture or art as capturing a specific moment in my life, so there are a lot of different colours and fun shapes and textures in my space and it’s continuously shifting since I spend all my downtime on marketplace looking for mid century furniture.
03 Where's the next place on your travel bucket list and why?
I met a lovely retired couple trekking the entirety of Japan top to bottom while I was there earlier in the year. Would love to give it a crack at some point in life.
04 What’s your favourite way to spend a day off locally?
If the weather permits I love going for a nice long walk just outside the city limits to get some fresh air and sunshine. The eastern bays and Pohutukawa coast are beautiful for a walk on a sunny day.
