A homewares store for New Zealand-made goods, housed in the Arts Centre on Worcester Boulevard in the Christchurch CBD. Frances Nation Home was set up in Christchurch in 2017 by Tessa Peach, and it is named for her grandmother, who valued function and quality in everything. This flagship store carries useful, well-designed pieces by makers across Aotearoa, from toolboxes to hand-thrown ceramics. The ceramics include cups and mugs by Thea Ceramics from Waiheke Island, Driving Creek Pottery from the Coromandel, Lyttelton Pottery from Raumati, and several Christchurch and Auckland potters. The store also sells Deksel reusable coffee cups made in Raumati. Some pieces are on sale: as at 2026, a set of cups was $44, down from $55.
The store is on the ground floor of The Boys High Building, at 28 Worcester Boulevard, and the café next door has white umbrellas and tables outside. The café is open 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on weekends. Shoppers come for the ceramics and the coffee cups, which suit the café's setting, and the range is the store's main draw in the Arts Centre.
