CONNECTED BY DESIGN
Join us for 159Design 2026, a gathering of designers, architects and industry partners brought together by a shared commitment to thoughtful design.
Great design doesn’t happen in isolation. It is shaped through relationships, collaboration, shared knowledge, and the connection between people, materials, technology, and place.
Across a series of conversations, presentations and experiences, the afternoon is designed as a forum for exchange, offering diverse perspectives, shared experiences and opportunities to engage with the people behind the work.
We look forward to sharing the experience with you – secure your ticket today!
Visitors can also create their own bespoke rug and go in the draw to win a $2,500 NZD Elegant Textures bespoke rug credit toward their custom design or a future project.
Discover the journey of a handcrafted rug, from raw natural fibres to the finished piece. Explore and compare New Zealand wool, Tencel, sisal, yarns, woven samples, finished rugs, and a range of binding options including cotton, linen, jute, and leather. Gain insight into the craftsmanship behind each design while experiencing the textures, colours, and finishes firsthand.
