Città Commercial: Project Feature of Icehouse Ventures

Nestled in the leafy suburb of Parnell, the historic Textile Centre was once a wool store for the New Zealand Shipping Co. Today, this iconic building houses a cluster of innovative businesses, including venture capital firm, Icehouse Ventures.

A carefully curated breakout space creates a welcoming, sophisticated area for employees and clients alike. The space honours the building’s heritage with original brickwork, exposed timber beams, and high ceilings that invite natural light through striking heritage windows.

Città furniture further enhances the commercial space. The inclusion of natural oak seating and tables creates a sense of warmth and cohesion with the wooden floorboards. The mid-century-inspired Daily sofa and armchairs introduce soft upholstery, while the rounded frames complement the curved Radial coffee and side tables.

Thoughtfully chosen cushions bring a refined touch of colour and texture. Morandi’s timeless plaid features a subtle pattern without overwhelming the space.

Designed as a high-traffic social area, the furniture meets industry standards for durability, including BIFMA certification—ensuring both style and longevity.

Featured products: Daily sofa & armchair in Pegasus Lusk Limestone, Radial rectangular coffee table, Radial round side table, Morandi cushion cover.
