Eclectic style
Designer Annika Rowson has an individual take on
kitchen design – backed by top quality control
With kitchens today almost invariably
being open plan, their design is about
much more than functionality – the ideal
kitchen also needs to fit aesthetically and
seamlessly into the adjacent living spaces.
Designer Annika Rowson says her
approach to this is to make the kitchen
look more like furniture than a kitchen.
“I tend to look at space differently and
have an individual take on the design,”she
says. “There’s a lot of timber and natural
products in my kitchens, creating a style
that’s eclectic, yet still timeless.”

That approach has not gone unnoticed. Not only are her design skills in
high demand in New Plymouth and the
surrounding areas, but her kitchens have
picked up awards in the Trends International Design Awards and from the NKBA.
But there’s more to a well-designed
kitchen than just good looks. It needs to
be backed by top quality manufacture to
ensure it works well and lasts the distance.

“Working with my husband Brad, we
manage each job right the way through –
from the initial design, to manufacture in
our own factory and installation. Our focus
is on producing quality not quantity.”
Now in her tenth year as a designer,
Rowson says most of her work tends to be
in the middle to upper end of the market.
