the gas project

It’s true, 3 out of 4 peninsulas prefer Miramar. For some time Gas has worked with Enterprise Miramar on a destination brand for the Peninsula. From logo creation to a printed guide and postcards, we’ve looked to put Miramar on the map, with a map. A big thanks to Stephen Templer for the illustration.

We’ve just finished work on the fitout and design for a new Napier cafe / restaurant called Mister D Dining. Food by the very talented David Griffiths, font of house by Prue Barton and Dan Tosswill. We got to finally use a Prouve chair in a restaurant, though we could have done without the sanding and staining 2 days before opening.

As seen in this month’s copy of Urbis magazine. A portable office for designers, made with a Schwim and a heavy dose of Brooks. Big thanks to Wheelworks and Andrew Missen for the build help, Bevan at MakeSomething for the invitation and Phillip Simpson for the photo.

Gas were approached a couple of months ago to ‘make something’ for Make Something, an exhibition by a group of designers and a collaborative partner. Our chosen partner was Wheelworks, so the object of our intention was a bike. In this case, a bike that doubles as a mobile design office. Inspired by a bike show we saw in Tokyo last year and a mobile kitchen by a certain celebrity chef, The Lyall bike drips in Brooks, steel and wood by Andrew Missen and some nifty graffiti by the very talented Kairau. Check the next issue of Urbis for more detail.
