About Città Merivale

A New Zealand design house with a shop on Papanui Road in Merivale, Christchurch. Città designs its own furniture and homeware, and the website says the furniture is designed in New Zealand by the in-house team, David Moreland and Nikolai Sorensen. The collections are described as award-winning and aimed at contemporary, modern homes.

The range covers sofas, tables, chairs, beds and shelving, along with cushions, bedspreads, kitchen essentials and decor. Recent arrivals on the website include a bedspread with contrasting selvedge edges and a cotton velour dressing gown, sold in four unisex sizes and colours. The company also offers free shipping once an order reaches the threshold, which the website lists as a $200 spend (as at 2026).

The founder and chief executive, Margot Acland, has been to Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design, and the company says it brings that wider design thinking into its own work.

Our pick in Merivale for a home piece that is designed locally and meant to last.
