About two years ago George & Willy purchased a little house here in Mount Maunganui.

The last two years since have involved extensive renovations, which has been a bit of a hobby on the side of work. It is something that we all enjoy doing and seeing the changes that have taken place has been very rewarding.

I (George) don't get to go ski touring that often, however when you get to go on a sunny day with good snow it is hard to beat.

These photos are from a day over the back of Treble Cone with my brothers Guy and Paddy and a mate Tim.

Recently we went on a trip up the Macaulay valley which is inland from Tekapo.

It is an awesome part of the country and the four days that we were there were perfect.

We spend a lot of time with our legs under the desk. No more than previous generations but now we are more aware of our space and the effect that it has on our mood and output. Here are a few easy things you can do to turn your office into a productivity playground.

We recently collaborated with Desmond Sweeny, an Australian-based artist is better known as 8 Foot Walls who creates large fresco murals.

Desmond originally trained as a traditional signwriter but moved into the theatre to work on sets and later, created backdrops for the Australian Opera. 

We have never had a proper sign outside our workshop so we thought it would be a good opportunity to try something new.

We wanted something with nice materials that will wear in nicely over time.

Welcome to the Studio and Workshop. We hang out here every day, talk to people all over the world and design tools for the everyday.

We like to think it's pretty cool and thought you might as well. Visitors are always welcome and if you're lucky, you might even leave with a pair of merino socks. Here are some photos that friends of ours have taken while we've been here.
