VidaSpace Bulletin

"No two days are the same which I absolutely love. My time is spent assisting clients in our Parnell showroom, working collaboratively with them from the start of their projects through to completion. I also look after the back end of the showroom, managing sampling, scheduling appointments + presentations, and ensuring all elements of the showroom are organised and beautifully presented to provide our clients with a world-class experience."

The 2020 Best Awards by the Designers Institute of New Zealand were held the evening of Friday 13th November, and we are beyond thrilled to announce that our VidaSpace Wellington Showroom won Silver in the Retail Environments category.

A finalist in the Retail category at the 2020 Interior Awards, our new showroom proudly embraces the design spirit of Wellington, whilst showcasing the latest European designs and trends.

Wood flooring was a key part of the design right from the start, can you tell us more why that was and how it ties into the overall design philosophy of the project? Our interior design for this project was to use materials and colours that tied in with the native bush that can be seen from all areas of the house, as well as being highly functional and durable. We believe that hardwood flooring creates a clear and uncluttered look, especially in large open spaces like this and not to mention that the colouring perfectly accompanies the outlook.

Some of our engineered wood flooring products are designed to be able to be floated. On certain projects this delivers benefits in time and cost but it is critical that these are installed correctly. One of these is a complaint post install that joints are squeaking.

At VidaSpace we love recommending great New Zealand companies with innovative products that work well with ours. One of these is the amazing Fastmount system for installing veneer panels.

Jimmy and Aaron from VidaSpace sat down with Dorian Minty and Penny Angell, the designers of our new Wellington showroom in College St to discuss the outcome of the project and the thought that went into the design process. Dorian Minty is an Associate at Studio Pacific and heads up their interiors team and been there since 2002 after studying fine arts and industrial design and completing design work on ‘The Lord of the Rings’. Penny Angell, another well-known designer in Wellington, was with Studio Pacific for 3 years, working in their interiors team was heavily involved with the project along with her colleague Jason Kowalak who was unable to join us for the interview.

We are excited to announce a number of our engineered wood flooring products across the Venture Plank, Henley and all the Hand Grade Collections are now Cradle to Cradle Certified.
