Mr. Bigglesworthy was founded in 2011 by Dan and Emma Eagle to share their passion for premium mid-century modern furniture and authentic vintage design classics.

The couple is inspired by art, architecture and design and their gallery has a strong focus on premium New Zealand designer furniture and lighting. This is complimented by a selection of rare Scandinavian, Italian, and American modern design.

Each piece in the collection has been thoughtfully curated and carefully hand restored by a team of in-house expert restorers. The founders take pride in knowing each item presents to a very high standard and is ready to be taken home, admired, and loved for a lifetime.

This week, we’re honouring the visionary designers who pioneered the use of moulded plywood that would come to revolutionise furniture and product design. Although plywood has been around for millennia, it was designers such as Alvar Aalto and the Eames duo who developed new technologies, realising the humble materials sculptural potential. With its strength, lightness and versatility, moulded plywood became the material of choice for designers, helping shape the modern world.
