Clever-Smart-Design
Simple ideas - beautifully crafted by local New Zealand craftsmen.
At Clever-Smart-Design we design and craft contemporary products made from quality materials. Some products purely remain honest to traditionally refined manufacturing techniques – others combine traditional trades with smart, modern production processes.
We create products that make you smile, surprise you, and dare to bring out your playful side again.
Located in Governors Bay / Christchurch we mostly craft in our little garage workshop but also work closely with and support local New Zealand craftsmen. We feel very passionate about giving our beautiful, fully recycled native New Zealand timbers a new lease of life.
The playful Rimu Salt & Pepper Shakers were the first release of our Rimu Collection. Now complemented by Serving Bowls, Vases and Tealight Holders these like-minded, contemporary homeware products will all add a little fun to your life.

From Rimu timber to final product
Reclaiming Rimu timber and giving it a new lease of life is a laborious process - but it's certainly worthwhile all the effort.
