Here's some more information from Resident:


Bing Pendant

Designed by Gidon Bing this is a small cracked ceramic pendant. Measures aprox 140mm wide x 110mm tall. It is made to be shown in numbers either in a line or a cluster. The BIng Pendant combines a modern form with classical organic detail. They are handcrafted and refined using traditional sculpting techniques, using pure white China Clay from Matauri Bay, NZ. The Bing Pendant is finely finished with a bone colored fine crackle glaze and charcoal oxides. Handmade in New Zealand.

Studio Chair

The Studio Chair is a simple, geometrically precise chair that has a small footprint and subtle curves that create a comfortable situation for sitting. Formally the chair refers to a typology of common, robust wood chairs originating in Switzerland. The Studio Chair ships flat-packed and is easily assembled and just as quickly knocked-down for storage or changing configurations.

Studio Stool

Designed by Jason Whiteley this is part of the Studio family. The stool comes in 3 heights, ships flatpacked and is easily assembled. Made from Birch it can be purchased in Natural, Black and White.

Spar Junior

Spar Junior takes the same iconic geometry of the Spar Floor light and scales it into a cantilevered table light. The spun aluminium shade pivots on two axis, allowing light to be directed as desired. Available in both white with black cable, and black with red cable.

Oud Lamp

Oud is a desk lamp. Its single, polished brass armature follows a continuous and unbalanced line, concealing all the mechanisms of a warm LED lamp. A sphere of polished crimson marble rests on a brass leg: its diameter is fitted to the palm, a quarter-turn operates the internal switch, and its weight – pushed off the axis of rotation by a skew in the channel - counterbalances the projection of the lamp.

Tangarine Chair

This clean lined stackable wooded chair is ideal for the home, hospitality and commercial environments. Available in three finishes of natural oak, white wash and black stain it's light weight look and subtle form offer a refined look to complement most tables.
