Hastings based cabinet makers Fowler Drummond & Waddell created some of the finest quality furniture available in New Zealand during the mid century era.
Fowler Drummond & Waddell were leaders in contemporary furniture design and production in New Zealand. They focused on high quality construction and their furniture is often defined by simple linear forms inspired by the Scandinavian cabinetmakers of the era.
FD & W furniture is distinguished by the use of solid mahogany rather than veneer for many of the pieces. Their most popular furniture range featured memorable ‘smiling’ handles which contrasted perfectly with the otherwise stark linear design.
