Backhouse
Backhouse, a brand synonymous for it’s sleek elegant mid-century design, is a New Zealand brand that was established in the 1960’s by Joe Backhouse. Joe had a passion for furniture making and set up his own factory in Wellington. By the mid 1960’s Backhouse had established itself as one of the premium contemporary furniture makers in New Zealand. Furniture from Backhouse was chosen for many of the large corporate boardrooms throughout the country and retailed in the best stores, including high end department stores like Kirkcaldie & Stains in Wellington and Smith & Caughey in Auckland.
Joe was inspired by Scandinavian designs, setting the template and vision for his furniture making.
Joe Backhouse was a skilled furniture designer as well as cabinetmaker which was a great combination when creating furniture designs for the Backhouse factory to produce. Joe also made several trips to Europe and Denmark in the 1960s, 70s and 80s to stay ahead of the trends in furniture design and meet some of his favourite makers and designers.
