Husband and wife team, Stephen and Theresa Cashmore have been involved in their respective creative fields for over 30 years.
Stephen is particularly well known for his interior conservation work on historic houses New Zealand wide. This time-honoured foundation brings his contemporary interiors a fresh twist. Stephen borrows and adapts from the past to combine the contemporary with provenance.
Theresa’s graphic design and typography is evident in her art. She typically uses antique wallpaper and salvaged linos out of old houses as a ground for painted or gilded words. Her recent large works feature scrim recovered from a derelict 1860s house in
Lawrence, Otago.
Stephen Cashmore Design Studio offers an eclectic combination of made to order bespoke furniture, soft furnishings and art. Many architectural and decorative pieces have been repurposed into ‘one of a kind’ table and floor lamps. A mid June exhibition of landscape paintings, including recent works by Canterbury artist Debbie Lambert will be followed in July by a new collection of original architectural fragments, pendant and wall lighting.
Stephen Cashmore Design Studio is open Monday - Friday from 10am - 6pm and Saturday from 10am - 4pm.
