9 OF RACHEL'S FAVOURITE DESIGN ITEMS: 1
Having suffered from lower back problems I am a very firm believer in the need to invest in a good ergonomic task chair. I have this one in my own office, the result of years of research by Formway here in NZ. You can read it's design story at be.formway.com/ specs from $700.
Something a bit different instead of the pot plant in the corner. Boskke Sky Planter by Patrick Morris, from $39. www.simonjamesdesign.com

I have always wanted an entire wall of shelving full of books, though I read mostly e-books these days, so how cool is this "library" wallpaper by Mr Perswall. $665.00 to fit wall size: 180cm w x 220cm h. www.paperroom.co.nz

A great way to display your latest industry mags so clients and staff can keep up-to-date. City Sunday Magazine Rack www. scandinaviandesigncenter.com

You can't go past a rug to finish a room or to create zones within an open plan space. I'm loving "Night Birds" from the gorgeous new Catherine Martin Range for Designer Rugs; inspired by Baz Luhrmann's upcoming movie 'The Great Gatsby', where they are also featured throughout. POA www. designerrugs.co.nz
Stools are a great way to add pops of colour as well as extra seating around an open plan environment. Love the Y Stool by NZ designer, Tim Webber, $460 each. www.douglasandbec. co.nz/categories/Furniture/

Still my all-time fave furniture system, Level 34 by Vitra offers so many options for flexibility of working as well as incorporating storage, seating and planting. POA www.cite.co.nz

Launched back in 2006, I still love this lounge chair for the reception or informal meeting, and the best part is that it has interchangeable designer covers so you can keep refreshing your décor! And the co-ordinating coffee table is a great way to display art, collections or your latest marketing material, very clever! Tio chair and Tio table by Concious Design, available from www.corporateculture.co.nz POA.
