About Us

James East Design was formed in 2016 to create simple, beautiful furniture for the modern New Zealand home. 

With a background in both industrial design and furniture making, James has a love for fine craftsmanship and honest design. Everything is designed and handmade by James right here in New Zealand using quality timbers and techniques.

We offer a small but expanding range of furniture, as well as our bespoke design service.  

Sustainability

The effect we have on the environment is important to us. We source timbers from FSC, PEFC and VLO certified suppliers. These organisations set standards for responsible management of forests and provide certification to timber suppliers.
