Great design and local craftsmanship go hand in hand. Thoughtful furniture is about how a piece lasts for years to come, just as much as how it looks today.
New Zealand craftsmanship has earned its stripes over the years for exceptional quality and enduring design. That’s why Harvey Norman continues to partner with local furniture makers across the country. It’s a future they want to invest in.
Product spotlight
Harvey Norman’s New Zealand-made furniture
Designed exclusively for Harvey Norman and crafted right here in New Zealand — from Ruawai to Christchurch — every piece reflects care, expertise and the pride of the manufacturers, many of whom have been perfecting their craft for generations.
Furniture should reflect the way you live. Rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all solution, custom furniture creates a better fit for your home, lifestyle and personal style. Choose from an extensive range of quality fabrics, premium timbers, stains and hardware to create a space that feels uniquely personal.
“Customers are increasingly looking for bedroom furniture that balances comfort, functionality and design,” says Agne Krisikaityte, Senior Product Manager of Bedding at Harvey Norman. “There is also a noticeable appreciation for locally crafted furniture, with customers placing greater value on quality craftsmanship and products designed to stand the test of time.”
Maker spotlight
Hugh (Baz) Loffhagen, 56
“I started in the factory on work experience straight from school, more than 40 years ago, and began paid employment here in May 1988. I’m proud to create furniture for Harvey Norman, whose nationwide reach allows us to connect with customers across New Zealand from our Christchurch factory. We get to create new styles and adapt to evolving trends, while still using our traditional methods of craftsmanship. Each week, I enjoy making the individual pieces that will be in someone’s home for many years to come.”
Our top picks
The Omaha Collection
$5,499 from Harvey Norman
Named after the iconic white-sand beach north of Auckland, the Omaha Collection brings beachside elegance with a fresh, minimalist vibe to the bedroom. Crafted in New Zealand from American oak, the Omaha Collection combines clean lines with timeless design. It can be customised with whichever fabric and timber finish takes your fancy – we recommend sticking to light, bright neutral fabrics for a Hamptons vibe.
The Elm Upholstered Queen Bed Frame
$4,499 from Harvey Norman
With its solid ash timber frame and softly curved upholstered headboard, this is a lovingly handcrafted bed frame you can put your own spin on. Choose from a wide range of ash stain finishes and fabric options to create a version that perfectly suits your aesthetic — whether that’s a serene neutral retreat or something with a little more pizzazz for colourful spaces.
