The concept was born from a
New Zealand-French fusion (I am
French and Anthony is kiwi).
FIRST KUT is a contemporary
design studio,creating harmonious,
functional and desirable pieces of
furniture.Our goal is to bring an
honest design solution into people’s
home, answering their desire for tasteful interiors.
We create a fresh and adaptable designs offering a simple but unexpected twist
on contemporary
furniture,
suitable for the
constraints of
everyday modern
living. For us
design is not to
create a unique
and outrageously
expensive piece
of furniture that
no one can afford
neither find its
utility. We want
to create for
people, we want
our design to be
useful, and
beautiful but
affordable.
Design should be
a complete part of our erveyday living, design should make us feel good in our interior, creating the experience. At First Kut we want to live the experience and we see design in its whole form, from the first sketch to the final packaging.
A new adventure has begun for us; A combination of the New Zealand pureness and the French elegance, providing an inspiring and authentic design practice. Ant and myself met when we were both living in China. Ant was the head designer of an expat furniture design studio based in Guangzhou. For almost two years we learnt from each other and from China. We know the furniture market,
we understand how production is
managed and after a long reflexion we decided to move back and create
our own practice here in NZ. We like to connect with people and we wanted to offer quality over quantity. We are partners in life and in this adventure, we are both passionate people and would like to share this new design concept with the world, starting here in NZ. We come from two very far countries; New-Zealand and France, but we
both share a common passion for art, design and people. We love design and find inspiration in the everyday life. At First Kut Studio we are not providing only products, but a story behind it, an experience, involving all of us, from the designer to the retail team, suppliers, bloggers, and of course, the customers.
THE FIRST KUT IS THE DEEPEST
