Centrepieces & Dry Hire Styling That Let Your Venue Shine
Sometimes, less really is more. For a recent incentive dinner at Te Puia, we created a bespoke centrepiece using re-purposed materials—designed to complement, not compete with, the stunning geothermal surrounds and rich cultural setting.
Our approach? Minimal styling with maximum texture. Thoughtfully curated and playful in form, each element was chosen to elevate the space while keeping the natural beauty and atmosphere centre stage.
This is what we love—bringing character, sustainability, and style together to create pieces that feel effortless and unique. Explore our range of dry hire décor and centrepieces available for your next event.
PAST WORK
From Champagne to Strategy
Whether it’s an intimate gala dinner for ten or a dazzling night for 800+ we’ve done it. Theming Corporate Events like cocktail functions that sparkle, conference spaces layered with immersive elements, and networking lounges that strike just the right balance of professional and playful — we design moments that leave an impression.
A huge thanks to you and the team for managing the theming at our event over the weekend.
The Pohutu Room looked absolutely AMAZING! It was a WOW and exactly what we wanted to ensure the room looked different than it had during the day!
Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the team – it’s been fantastic working with you and really appreciate your talent and professionalism.
