Rarebirds Interiors is a studio where artistic intuition meets architectural precision, and the results speak volumes. Founded in 2021 by seasoned designers Kelly Gammie and Sean Monk, this Auckland-based studio merges fine arts sensibility with technical fluency, creating interiors that are both richly expressive and beautifully resolved.
“There’s always a balance we’re seeking between the poetic and the practical, the global and the local,” Kelly says. This duality runs through their work where an elegant interplay of form and function sets them apart, where highly considered layout and spatial clarity meet custom finishes, sculptural lighting, and finely crafted materials.
The Rarebirds philosophy is clear: design should elevate the everyday. Their projects, spanning high-end residential and commercial spaces, are grounded in purpose, yet layered with artistic detail and emotional depth. With over three decades of combined industry experience, Kelly and Sean lead a multidisciplinary team whose work continues to garner national and global attention. Rarebirds Interiors has quickly become known for crafting spaces that feel highly individual, yet unmistakably theirs.
Rarebirds Interiors partners closely with architects, makers, and craftspeople, championing artisan techniques, bespoke detailing, and local makers. It’s an approach supported by the duo’s deep technical knowledge. From early concept development to full project delivery, Rarebirds guides each interior with care, precision, and creative clarity.
The result is an ever-expanding portfolio of award-winning work that is expressive, intuitive, and creative: each has its own distinct narrative, brought to life from the intricate nuances of the people and architecture for which they are designed.
