Sutherland Studio is a design & build studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. It positions itself as an integrated design and fabrication service for furniture, objects, and small-scale installations, while also extending into product/industrial design, branding, web, and lightweight app development. The site emphasizes a training background from Florence, Italy, with fabrication taking place in an Auckland workshop, combining “Italian discipline” with “South Pacific texture” in its style.
Its main services include custom furniture, wall sculptures, spatial installations, lighting, and small-batch objects. It can also provide product clients with concept development, CAD, and prototyping services. The workflow is relatively complete: it starts with a free 60-minute consultation, then moves from hand sketches into CAD, material samples, and a fixed quote. If needed, 1:1 or scaled prototypes are produced, followed by hand-built fabrication and full process photography. One distinctive feature is “Every build, on film”: a making-of film for each piece is delivered alongside the finished work, in MP4 and link format, strengthening the narrative and collectible value of the piece.
Pricing is relatively transparent: custom furniture starts from NZD 4,800, small installations from NZD 2,400, lighting and objects from NZD 380, product/industrial design from NZD 1,400 per day, graphic design from NZD 1,200, and Web/App development from NZD 3,800. Consultations are free and can be held at the Auckland studio or via Zoom. The site states a typical lead time of 6–12 weeks, and offers fixed quotes, weekly photos, local hand delivery in Auckland, an aftercare pack, and a 10-year written guarantee.
The strengths are its clear positioning, a service chain that covers concept through to finished work, and an emphasis on materials, structure, and process documentation. The free consultation and listed starting prices also reduce the cost of initial communication. The drawbacks are that the website shows “Est. 2026,” some small-batch works are still in the planning stage, and there is limited evidence in terms of case studies and past projects. International shipping, payment methods, copyright ownership, and technical details for digital services are also not disclosed.
It is suitable for individual clients, galleries, small brands, architects, or product teams that value handmade texture, limited-edition qualities, and spatial fit—especially projects based in Auckland or elsewhere in New Zealand. Access from China is not mentioned in the text, and domain accessibility cannot be determined from the text alone, so it is marked as unknown.
