2017 Design Awards: ‘Newton’ espresso
By Hayden Maunsell and Alan Neilson
What started as a conversation between a designer and engineer has resulted in a stripped-back, sculptural manual coffee press developed with the New Zealand home and bach in mind. Former mechanical engineer turned designer, 31-year-old Hawke’s Bay-based Hayden Maunsell worked with Alan Neilson, a toolmaker by trade, craftsman and engineer, to support his passion for coffee and express his desire for quality design.

2015 Design Awards: ‘Torchon’ pendant light
By Cheshire Architects
The winner of HOME’s Design Awards 2015 was the ‘Torchon’ pendant light by Cheshire Architects. Designed by Nat Cheshire and Emily Priest, it was made in a fiery, innovative rush by glass artist Luke Jacomb in an unassuming little shed in west Auckland.
Fisher & Paykel’s design director Mark Elmore described the ‘Torchon’ pendant as “an amazing fusion of design, technology and craft. I think the way they’ve taken a very simple pure spherical shape in glass and inserted that very organic craft-based natural form inside that…is an amazing piece of design.” You can see this amazing process in our short web film above.
