Sustainable design house Frontal Lobe is known for its instantly recognisable ‘new iconic’ statement furniture pieces, inspired by timeless mid-century style and crafted with the goal of creating iconic pieces built to last generations of New Zealanders.

 

Frontal Lobe’s design process leans into the philosophy of the Bauhaus movement, adopting the principle of design and construction under one roof for true synergy between concept and craftsmanship.

 

Solid timber construction elements are a common theme throughout Frontal Lobe designs, embodying the brand’s ethos around both sustainability and design sensibility. Timber is naturally always in fashion; and combined with custom engineered metal elements, the Frontal Lobe collection is built to last generations of New Zealanders.

All pieces are handcrafted from concept through execution by the brand’s creative forces Bevan Whiting and Aidan Rutherford at 22 Stanley Street, Christchurch. The designs are timeless, and produced to the exceptional quality required for statement pieces that last generations.

 

Frontal Lobe furniture pieces are made to order at the brand’s showroom and workshop at 22 Stanley Street, Christchurch. Furniture pieces have an eight-week lead time, with shipping available New Zealand wide.
