It’s delivery time at the Zu! The showroom was alive this week with new product being unloaded by our warehouse lads and unpacked by staff under the careful eye of Lidia our showroom manager (who, it must be said, was a gun on coffee duty). The entire staff pool get so excited when new furniture arrives at the showroom. ...

A big week at KE-ZU last week saw the unveiling of some new product to the showroom floor (check out the Blog post here to see what we unpacked) and the KE-ZU Christmas party.  There are some photos which are soon to emerge both here and on the KE-ZU Facebook page shortly (after culling some that will never see the...

Recently arriving in the KE-ZU showroom with two cousins (read the Blog posts about Topissimo and Rangoli here), News is the design by Martí Guixé providing...

Finding itself in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania – Avalon City Retreat speaks volumes about the creativity which thrives in the Australian Island State.
