USM x Meadowlark

Behind tinted red doors on the outer fringe of Auckland CBD sits an unpretentious space housing a jewellery atelier showcasing traditional craftsmanship with an intimate showroom setting. The white concrete building is beautifully balanced with rays of warmth and filled with mindful treasures. Back in 2018, we were approached by Claire, Creative Director of Meadowlark to assist in the creation of her first USM piece. With a clear vision in mind, we worked together to create New Zealand's first commercially fit Haller E unit. The new custom-built Haller E storage unit now sits in the centre of Meadowlark's showroom providing the perfect mixture of storage and display for Claire and her partner Greg's flourishing brand. "I don’t think I have a particular style, but I do love things to be slightly weird and unusual and not like everyone else. I like to have pieces that are not easily found in New Zealand. I just choose what I love and trust it will all work together, I also never rush into any big purchases. The beautiful Ettore Sottsass mirror took me three years to finally talk to the accountant into, it has since become an it mirror with its own Instagram filter!"
