“Furniture stores near me.”
It’s one of the most common searches Kiwis make when they’re furnishing a home—whether they’re after a solid dining table, a coffee table with character, or something custom that fits just right.

But behind that search is a bigger story—especially here in Aotearoa. A story of how furniture has evolved over generations, shaped by the timber under our feet, the makers in our towns, and the shifting values of what “quality” really means.

At Innate Furniture, we’re proud to craft sustainable NZ-made furniture using locally sourced materials. But creating something special is only half the story. Delivering it with care and integrity is just as important. That’s why we’ve chosen to partner with Mainfreight.
