About Us
The Quirky table was created because we needed a place to sit.
As the story goes, every Friday morning at the stainless engineering firm, the tradition was for the boss to cook bacon butties for the team, as a tip-of-the-hat to a job well done during the week. The team grew, a seating arrangement was necessary, and The Original was born. Clearly the design of the one-piece table was highly original and someone said, “oh that’s quirky”.
Hello Quirky Design.
Quirky Design’s portfolio today speaks to owner Olly’s creativity, critical thinking and ability to problem solve.
The designs also represent something unique about the Wanaka and Central Otago region. The portfolio has expanded to include a variety of iconic designs for outdoor dining as well as unique accessories for your outdoor living experience, including fire pits and planters. While everything continues to be manufactured in Wanaka in the South Island of New Zealand, the range is now also manufactured in Hamilton in the North Island.
The portfolio also tells a story of our customers. Each new model was developed as customers brought ideas to the table. Curves (Radius), new materials (polished concrete), and the Haig is even named after the client who requested it. Other outdoor accessories followed as extra pieces were requested along the way.
At Quirky Design we innovate to create furniture and accessories that combine individuality with exceptional lasting qualities. Quirky Design offers outdoor living the furniture it deserves: robust, able to withstand the harshest weather conditions and live with you season after season, year after year. Quirky designs are engineered to last a lifetime.
Best of all, our Quirky Designs bring people together, whether it’s for a BBQ with friends, an outdoor Kiwi Christmas, or a bacon buttie on a Friday morning.
