Exciting new venture for designer Donna Hoyle

Donna Hoyle recently relocated her design studio from Parnell to industrial-chic premises in Grey Lynn, in order to create a showroom space for her latest creation ­– a curated collection of exquisite and luxurious cushions.

Donna has been travelling widely from a young age and is inspired by the history, art and architecture of her cultural encounters. She loves to be surrounded by beautiful things and textiles have always held a strong attraction to her. Donna’s deep and often knowledgeable appreciation of the craftsmanship and skill required to create handmade objects drew her to a long-standing love of India and its rich, decorative heritage.

This has influenced Donna to extend her creativity into drawing together a range of very beautiful cushions. They showcase generations of artisan skills, with the extraordinary work of master embroiderers, fabric dyers and weavers. Seeking these skills has meant several trips to India over the past three years while this new project was underway, and the collection has taken shape.

Finally, they are all here and Donna welcomes visitors to her showroom where she is happy to assist and have the opportunity to share her love of these stunning textiles with you. These are available to purchase directly from her by visiting her showroom, her website or from interior designers.

Opening hours: Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm. Please call in advance of your visit so a carpark will be available for you.
