Locally made pair of chairs

Alex from Westmere

Selling Two Kwila hardwood dining/desk chairs made from reclaimed timber locally sourced from an old home in New Zealand.

Inspired by the crossroads of modernism and craft, the design has been made locally made and designed, taking into consideration the limited supply of materials at hand.

These two chairs are one of a kind, utilising old kwila sourced from a New Zealand Villa.

The kwila had been in the house for over 40 years and was salvaged for this project.

Slightly inclined backrest to provide comfort to the user. The chairs are slightly smaller than an average chair and would suit a dwelling of a small home/ office/ meeting space/ gallery.

Each chair will have foam floor protectors on the base, both to prevent scuffing and protect the wood itself.

Price: $600

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
