Resident

Resident is a New Zealand based globally focused design house, founded by Simon James and Scott Bridgens in 2011. They are committed to the design, manufacture and distribution of high-quality furniture and lighting pieces, with a resourceful approach to design. Resident create products that add value to the places where people live, work and play, and they believe that luxury isn't about excess but about investing in good quality pieces that will enhance your life and be passed on to future generations.

The brand utilises high levels of creativity and endless innovation, utilising only the finest materials including timeless oak and contemporary brass. Despite wanting every product to fit seamlessly into a room, Resident’s mission is to create lighting and furniture that acts as an obvious contrast to its surroundings. Their work is conceived in New Zealand, and then executed through a world of design that extends from their specialist lighting production team in Auckland, to the world’s finest timber joiners in Lithuania, and boutique upholstery workshops in London, Los Angeles and Melbourne.
