New Zealand Talent

I suppose New Zealand falls into that category of 'brilliance through isolation' that gets so often touted on my home shores.

Isolation from influence can create beautiful things, encourage people to push boundaries, and open doors to ideas fostered without predjudice.

Stumbled across this website today which showcases the best of NZ designers

http://www.cleverbastards.co.nz/ - Its a bit like etsy for the Kiwi's

Im loving these handmade ceramic bowls by Rose Griffin;

This chair by Roger Kelly;

And I NEED this bag to carry all my uni stuff! Its the ultimate. Prints by Ingrid Anderson are brilliant, and I love the wide shoulder strap. I can fill it with junk and it wont hurt!

Present idea? Anyone??
