Trenzseater stands as a legacy brand, celebrated for its enduring design sensibility

For those seeking interiors that exude sophistication, Trenzseater has established itself as a leader in New Zealand’s design landscape. Founded by Ben and Hamish Lewis, the company offers a comprehensive interior design service that spans residential and commercial projects, working closely with clients from concept through to completion. The approach is both collaborative and meticulous, ensuring every element — from bespoke furniture and drapery to lighting, rugs, and accessories — is layered into a cohesive, highly personalised scheme.

“Our process is about creating something unique for each client,” says creative director Ben Lewis. “It’s a journey designed to be enjoyed, with every stage delivering a sense of discovery.” That dedication has garnered international acclaim.

Trenzseater has been recognised as a finalist in the prestigious Andrew Martin Interior Design Review in London, shortlisted in the SBID International Design Awards for seven consecutive years, and celebrated in the Design et al International Design & Architecture Awards, where Lewis won the ‘Global Interior Design Scheme’ category in 2019. More recently, Trenzseater secured the ‘Interior Scheme Australasia’ accolade in 2024.

With showrooms in Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown, and a vertically integrated model that allows for bespoke New Zealand-made furniture alongside global design brands, Trenzseater continues to deliver interiors of timeless, international calibre.
