WHAT’S THE STORY?
Starting point, briefing and inspiration for Purple South design is a suitcase filled with “Kiwiana” - objects, music and texts unique to New Zealand. The suitcase is sent to some of the finest designers on the planet. All international designers have been invited to visit “Aotearoa”. They came not only to get a feel for the country but also to stage work-shops with upcoming designers and students.
Werner Aisslinger (Germany) designed the first collection for Purple South in 2002. His interlocking furniture is inspired by the Punakaiki Rocks located at New Zealand’s untamed West Coast and the tra-ditional construction of Maori canoes.
David Trubridge (New Zealand) has spent many years sailing the SouthPacific Ocean picking up ideas for a series of award winning rocking recliners on his way. His contribution to the Purple South range “Glide” is one of his most acclaimed pieces and featured on the title page of the Eco Design Source Book by Alastair Fuad - Luke published in 2006.
Ed Annink (Netherlands) has designed a range of beautiful Tableware that received exceptional feedback from the international media and is sold through the shops of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The latest international cooperation was realised with Paris based designer Matt Sindall (UK) and resulted in Sindall’s quirky side table DOGGY released in November 2006.
In the meantime, the suitcase continues to travel with its mission to inspire more fine designers to contribute to a Purple South range that is manufactured nuclear free in New Zealand with materials from sustainable resources.

This genius construction results in a stable and great looking table with interesting details. The five interlocking elements take up little space for transport or storage. The smallest version of the PS Table with its unusual dimensions fills a niche for a versatile small table with great depth. Six people can still comfortably meet or dine around the table. It also makes a perfect office table by providing plenty of space for the computer screen and other accessories. The assembly takes only a few minutes and is fun and simple.

‘PS SHELF’ DETAILS
Werner Aisslinger’s Shelf offers plenty of space and can bear a lot of weight while appearing light and transparent. This elegant storage solution works just as well at home as in a working environment*. The construction is very stable and designed to look great from all angles so it can be used as room divider as well. Solving the classical design problems of minimizing the material and flat packing the piece for transport, resulted in the refined joints that add beautiful details to this versatile and timeless design.

TABELWARE DESIGNED BY ED ANNINK
70 CM FRUITThis genius design features four different profiles enabling four different ways of food presentation in an unusual and beautiful way.
LONG RUNA great way of serving Sushi, cheeses and the like. The long but narrow dimensions take a lot of food without filling up much space on the table.
HITNo matter if you play beach ball with your neighbour or chop garlic,HIT is a hit! The profile is designed to enable the cook to lift the board up with one hand - even if wet - and also gives the illusion of the piece floating slightly above the surface.
70 CM Fruit (700 x 90 x 60 mm)
HIT (450 x 300 x 20 mm) LONG RUN (675 x 150 x 25 mm)
