Design aficionado Terry Curtis shares his love for the handmade and functional Rustic metals, soft creamy leathers and dark, glossy woods are the materials Terry Curtis believes are the essence of creating a trendy, homely interior.
His weekend hobby of collecting industrial and old-world decor saw him launch Weekend Trader, which has evolved from an online concept to a permanent
store within Ponsonby Central. At Weekend Trader, each piece is either designed or hand-picked by Curtis, making the store distinctive as it is filled with homeware that is one-of-a-kind.
From mesh coffee tables to pendant lights, it is a collection of his discoveries that are all hand-made and completely functional. Curtis is no amateur in interior design.
With a background in graphic and environmental build design, credits for styling and design at Republic and the creation of a range of popular ceramics, he has an impressive list of achievements. He tells us about some of his favourite things.
