Catherine David

Auckland

Designer Catherine David's first run of black-and-white linens were designed and manufactured to furnish her own home and as a fresh graduate of architecture she thought she might sell a few extras to help cover costs.

Today, her popular lighting, bathroom, homeware and stationary ranges are stocked in design stores throughout New Zealand and Australia. Her ability to design across different mediums is a talent that Catherine honed while studying architecture.

She describes her style as simple and practical. "My objects exist for purpose, not for litter in the name of decoration.
