About Frontal Lobe

A furniture design house in Sydenham, Christchurch, at 22 Stanley Street, where the showroom and workshop are in the same place. The pieces are made by hand in Christchurch, and the brand's designers, Bevan Whiting and Aidan Rutherford, create each piece from concept through to finished piece. The brand describes its work as statement furniture inspired by mid-century style, with a Bauhaus approach that keeps design and construction under one roof.

Most pieces are solid timber, combined with custom engineered metal elements, and are made to order. The website gives an eight-week lead time, with shipping available across New Zealand. A customer wrote that they love the FL2 chairs, which they describe as stunning and comfortable. Eight other furniture shop listings sit within a kilometre.
