Currently a designer and production manager for Simon James Design, David Moreland is a familiar face in the design scene in New Zealand. He began his career by studying 3-dimensional design at university, then going on to work with stalwart David Trubridge before settling here in Auckland. As well as producing limited edition pieces and one-off commissions, his furniture has also wound up in commercial projects nationwide like Air New Zealand, BNZ and Government House.

Moreland's entry, can be either a shelf or a sideboard by changing the set of perspex shelves used. Due to the material being a light gauge timber, a nice open space has been achieved within the piece and it can still be moved easily. The half lap joints create an attractive detailing effect as well as giving strength. The components are painted prior to assembly, allowing for unlimited colourway options. There is also the option of choosing a different coloured perspex, meaning that the pieces can be re invented for specific locations or clients needs. A smaller side table version constructed from 25mm x 25mm machined oak is also available.
