Residential fabrication project highlighted in The Folio Design Report

Exciting news! Firefish Fabrication is featured in the latest edition of The Folio Design Report, a premier publication celebrating innovation and craftsmanship in New Zealand’s design industry. Spanning an impressive 375 pages of creative excellence, the Volume 1 issue highlights standout projects and the talented designers and artisans behind them. We are honoured to be part of such a beautifully curated showcase.

The feature spotlights a remarkable project led by the visionary interior designer Katie Scott, founder of Sticks+Stones Design. Tasked with transforming a bungalow kitchen into a contemporary masterpiece with industrial elegance, Katie’s meticulous attention to detail shines through every element of the design. At the heart of the space is a custom black steel light fixture, expertly crafted by Firefish Fabrication.

They excel in details and the creation of customised, one-off pieces. It had to be very strong and carefully installed to ensure the structure did not bow.” We worked closely with Katie to ensure the piece not only met her aesthetic vision but also provided the strength and precision required for such a bold design statement. The result is a stunning fixture that elegantly spans the length of the kitchen island, blending form and function seamlessly. This project exemplifies the beauty of thoughtful collaboration, where creative ideas are realised through precision and craftsmanship. It also underscores the potential of custom residential fabrication in transforming living spaces. Our experience with home fabrication ensures that bespoke pieces, like this striking light fixture, meet both aesthetic and functional demands.

 

Being featured in The Folio Design Report is a testament to the incredible possibilities that arise when designers and fabricators work together to push creative boundaries. The publication celebrates the best of New Zealand design, and it’s a pleasure to be part of this journey with Katie and Sticks+Stones Design. Projects like this highlight how residential and interior design can be elevated through expert fabrication.

We invite you to explore the full feature and immerse yourself in 375 pages of inspiring creative design.
