Crafted by conscious hands


Furniture made for more than practicality.

Zarby Designs is a one-man design + make studio, crafting solid wood, standalone furniture in Auckland, NZ.

Conceptually driven, Zarby Designs furniture pieces are explorative in form, and try to bridge the gap between practical craft and art.

A blend of both traditional and modern processes such as steam bending, hand shaping, and CNC machining mean designs can be ambitious with little compromise.
