Dunedin store extends the design story from maker to customer

28/11/2017

Every visit to Guild, a collective design store nestled in the heart of Dunedin’s historic Moray Place Arts Quarter, provides a unique opportunity to meet one of the store’s 12 resident designers. Growing from a founding group of just five, the store’s designers represent a cross section of design disciplines from fashion and jewellery to fine art, ceramics and homewares.

Working a half-day shift each week in order to staff the store, each designer is afforded approximately one square metre of premium CBD real estate. In addition to the resident designers, Guild operates a coveted space for ‘pop-up designers’; providing creatives from all over New Zealand the opportunity to showcasing their work.

Helen Riley-Duddin, resident designer and one of the store’s curators, has been central to the store’s development, and says that the Guild provides a unique opportunity for customers to meet the makers. “It’s a unique and meaningful shopping experience”.

Guild also connects the community with designers through a programme of workshops that cover a range of creative topics such as painting, book-binding, ceramics and illustration. “We've had amazing feedback from people who've taken part in our workshops to-date”.

Guild is located at 45 Moray Place, Dunedin and is open Monday to Saturday each week. You can also visit their website, guilddunedin.co.nz.
