YOYO Design by Kiwis: Furniture, Homeware and Lighting

YOYO Design by Kiwis is a New Zealand furniture and homeware retailer with stores in Wellington and Clyde, selling across bedroom, dining, living, outdoor, homeware, textiles and lighting categories, alongside an online shop.

A Full Range for the Home

The bedroom range covers beds, bedside tables and drawers, while the dining collection includes chairs, benches, stools, dining tables and sideboards. The living range is broader still, spanning bookcases and shelving, coffee, hall and side tables, desks and entertainment units, occasional chairs and bean bags, and sofas and ottomans — the latter promoted as tailor-made for the home.

Outdoor furniture covers accessories, seating and tables, while the homeware category includes art, clocks, doormats and stoppers, gifts and toys, kitchen items, mirrors and storage. Textiles round out the soft-furnishings side of the range, with cushions, hot water bottle covers, floor rugs, seat pads and throws, and the lighting range covers table, ceiling and floor lights.

Handmade Leather Goods

Among its newer arrivals, YOYO carries pieces from St Bathans Leather Co., handmade in Central Otago by maker Birgit Krippner. The range includes a keyring fob, a dog lead, a slim card holder and a dog collar, all made from premium full-grain cow leather, including vegetable-tanned leathers that develop a patina with use. Each piece is individually cut, assembled and hand-finished, with hardware such as solid brass fittings and reinforced clips depending on the item. As handmade goods, the site notes that subtle variations in grain, colour and finish are part of the process, and that what they receive from the maker is what they offer for sale.

LOOM Light and Rugs

YOYO also promotes its LOOM Light range, a woven wool hoop lighting collection, alongside a dedicated rugs collection described on the site as bringing "warmth underfoot."
