Rustic metals, soft creamy leathers and dark, glossy woods are the materials Terry Curtis believes are the essence of creating a trendy, homely interior.
His weekend hobby of collecting industrial and old-world decor saw him launch Weekend Trader, which has evolved from an online concept to a permanent store within Ponsonby Central. At Weekend Trader, each piece is either designed or hand-picked by Curtis, making the store distinctive as it is filled with homeware that is one-of-a-kind.
From mesh coffee tables to pendant lights, it is a collection of his discoveries that are all hand-made and completely functional. Curtis is no amateur in interior design.
With a background in graphic and environmental build design, credits for styling and design at Republic and the creation of a range of popular ceramics, he has an impressive list of achievements. He tells us about some of his favourite things.
