Hemptech is a boutique fabric company specialising in Natural Sustainable Fabrics.
The hemp and linen plants from which the fibre for weaving their fabrics is sourced have many common properties. Both plants grow naturally with the use of minimal amounts of pesticide and have a low impact on our environment. The typical natural colour of the fibre is obtained by the interaction of the plant with the sun, the rain and the earth.
All Hemptech's fabrics are designed with a specific purpose in mind and are most suitable for curtains, cushions, blinds and upholstery.
Bring a little of the outdoors inside and furnish your home using these lovely natural fabrics from Hemptech.

At the North Shore Home and Garden Show at the end of March, Designworx showcased the Colour and Sample boards for the upgrade of the North Shore YMCA building. The images generated a lot of memories and interest about the long standing YMCA organisation from visitors to the show. Stage one of this upgrade is nearly complete. The Visual representations of this project can be viewed online at www.designworxnz.co.nz.
Amanda worked closely with the YMCA board and project manager to follow the brief and give the building a new look and rebrand the organisation in the new colours red and black that flowed into the overall scheme of the design.

Also featured was a colour board of a Devonport Villa renovation that was recently featured in Your Home and Garden February issue.

These Clients purchased on old villa that had been gutted. They wanted to maintain the character but create a contemporary family home with all the conveniences that go along with it.

The brief for Designworx was to present a complete interior refurbishment for the kitchen, bathroom and ensuite design, as well as colour, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings and much of the furniture.

A sense of luxury, and the wow factor was introduced to create a warm family home.
