Turning previously dull streets into an upmarket and chic redevelopment, Faraday St and St Georges Bay Rd are a dynamic series of spaces in which to work, shop and eat. Now it is home to some of New Zealand’s most innovative studios and showrooms.

Gig guides will be at your first stop IMO to guide you through the evening.

Spaces are limited, RSVP's are a must!

Creation of Fearon Hay’s studio was undertaken as part of the reoccupation of 1940’s warehouses amongst the wool stores of St Georges Bay Rd.

The outcome is a workplace that has the sense of a loft apartment – one that can feel social, allowing interaction between all members of the practice and its clients, while providing a highly functional vessel for the development and delivery of the work.

Designers and manufacturers of world-class commercial and residential furniture, IMO create products that are simple, durable and beautiful – products that embody both joy and practicality – IMO call this Happy Modern.
