THE LEWIS LEGACY

Eight decades of craftsmanship, family and beautifully furnished New Zealand homes.

Our story began in Christchurch in 1946, when David Lewis established a furniture business built on a simple but enduring belief: well-designed furniture, made with care, could enrich the way people lived.

As one of the pioneering figures in New Zealand’s furniture industry, David manufactured furniture for retailers throughout the country. From those early workshop days, he earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship, personal integrity and strong, lasting relationships.

These values became the foundation of the Lewis name—and they continue to guide us today.

CRAFTED THROUGH THE GENERATIONS

Over the decades, our business has evolved alongside the homes and lifestyles of New Zealanders. From manufacturing locally made furniture to curating thoughtfully designed collections from New Zealand and around the world, our purpose has remained constant: to help people create homes of comfort, character and enduring style.

Every generation has brought fresh ideas and new possibilities, while preserving the care, knowledge and personal service on which the business was founded.

RESILIENCE, RENEWAL AND FAMILY

Eighty years in business brings many chapters. There have been challenges to overcome, milestones to celebrate and moments that have shaped who we are.

Through changing times, one thing has remained constant: the strength of our family, our team and the relationships we share with our customers, suppliers and wider community.

Today, Lewis & Co is proudly a third-generation family business. We remain inspired by our heritage while looking confidently to the future—continuing a legacy that began with David Lewis eight decades ago.

Your trust and support have made these 80 years possible. Here’s to the stories already told, the homes we have helped create, and the chapters still to come.

The Lewis family and the team at Lewis & Co
