Trenzseater is a leader in interior design services available at their Queenstown, Christchurch and Auckland stores. QT Magazine goes behind the scenes with founder and award-winning interior designer Ben Lewis.

Who leads the design service at the Trenzseater Queenstown store?

Our fantastic Queenstown team are specialised interior designers capable of all types of project management. Our process is personalised with each designer working closely with customers to ensure a seamless process. We work with all budgets and project sizes from small studios to large scale multi apartment blocks and country homes.

What is the scope of the interior design service Trenzseater offers?

We offer a full interior service for new architectural builds, home renovations and individual work spaces. Our consultants work with initial stages of scoping the project through to full briefs and completion.

The store caters for everything a client requires to furnish and finish their home to achieve their desired aesthetic. Our services can include floor plans, custom joinery for kitchens and bathrooms, furniture, wallpapers, window treatments through to  accessories.

How do you reflect a client’s personality through interior design?

Having a solid understanding of client’s needs, aspirations and aesthetics is absolutely key to achieving the best possible results. We do a lot of listening to find out their thoughts and objectives for various aspects of the home and we are always prepared to adapt our selections to suit.  It’s a journey that all our interior designers enjoy and often these client relationships continue for future projects.

Tell us about the lifestyle collection you personally design for Trenzseater stores. 

I have an inherent passion for design and love designing products and interiors so it’s always inspiring to see projects come to reality. Often my designs stem from client requests to fill a particular niche or void. Currently we have some exciting new lighting I have designed featuring knurled metals and table lamps with luminated internal bases clad in alabaster.
