Still grinning about our partnership with @nzdesignweek for 2026 where we took care of coffee service for some of the best creatives from all around NZ (and beyond).

Always a pleasure ⚡️⚡️

A pleasure to be part of @nzdesignweek, capturing the energy across the NZDW events.

LightCo at @nzdesignweek 2026.

Presented at the Design Depot in Shed 10, our exhibition brought together a curated selection of collections as part of this year’s People + Place programme.

Over three days, the design community experienced the pieces up close while engaging with the wider programme of exhibitions, talks & discussions that shaped the week.

Thank you to everyone who visited.

Design meets tequila. 🍸

For @nzdesignweek , we served the new @chuquicocktails Margarita batch all night. Clean, sharp, and dangerously easy to drink.

From the first pour to the last cheers, the bar stayed busy.

Designers, creatives, and a lot of margaritas later… safe to say the night worked exactly as planned.

Batch cocktails. Fast service. Good chaos.
