About Get Wavey
Get Wavey is about having fun, being playful and colourful, and bringing a sense of quirkiness to our living spaces. Our products are hand made from a home based studio in Mount Maunganui. They are a labor of love and creativity for us.
It all started one afternoon when myself and a friend were in my garage watching a flat mate build a tiled bedside table. We started drawing on some wood, getting our hands on some of his tools, playing with some paint and our first mirror was born. Looking back it was a terribly constructed product but the concept was there and we showed some friends and the feedback was incredibly encouraging. A friend asked me to make her a mirror for her living room and that was the beginning of making mirrors for friends. And then friends of friends. Now, they’re for everyone and anyone.
I have a degree in textile design and so colour and pattern have always been an obsession of mine. I’m a hands on learner, like to create and having something to show for at the end of a working day, so being in our home-based studio is naturally my happy place.
We have come a long way since our first mirror almost three years ago. And now have a structured production process, frame templates, an extensive power tool library, painting procedures and hundreds of satisfied customers across the country.
The duo – Jess + Ben
With my background in design and Ben’s in engineering, we have been able to put our heads and hands together and create Get Wavey. A balanced fusion of retro-modern design and well constructed handmade homewares. Where my strengths lie in pushing the creative boundaries and brainstorming product concepts, Ben has an eye for precision, symmetry and accuracy. We are both perfectionists and each order is treated individually with the time, care and quality control we insist on, and to a high standard of workmanship.
The Process
Each product is hand cut in our small workshop, sanded smooth to wavey perfection before being coated with high quality Molotow paint in the shade of your choice.
Due to our products being handmade and individual, each frame and shelf will vary slightly. We use a small locally owned business for all our glass supplies. We believe in supporting high-quality production within New Zealand.
If you have opted for shipping, we use a highly reputable local business who package our products and with immense care to ensure your order arrives safely and securely.
We love to make others living spaces fun and a little off beat. Be bold and make a playful statement with us xx
