I have over the last few months purchased a number of furniture items from Black dog. These items have all been of great quality and those that have used them have also commented about this. It's good to know you have a piece of furniture that if looked after will be as good in twenty years as it is now, I would highly recommend these products and the efficiency of the sales team

We absolutely love Black Dog Furniture! Stay away from the big chains with their imported rubbish that won't last. Support local, and get something bespoke and memorable, that will last forever and never go out of style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: Black Dog Furniture is proud to be your authentic New Zealand furniture manufacturer based in Bruntwood, Cambridge.

The Black Dog story.

Andy MacDonald started Black Dog Furniture over 25 years ago, naming it after his loyal companion Arnie, a black lab who served as “director of operations” for sixteen years. What began as a small manufacturer of dog beds and kennels has since evolved into one of New Zealand’s most iconic furniture brands.

Andy’s background in shearing sheds and forestry instilled a passion for sustainable timber use. His signature creation — the Woolpress Leaner — was originally crafted by repurposing old Donalds Woolpresses, with the original manufacturer later granting him exclusive rights to their designs and history.

Today, Black Dog pieces of all kinds can be found in New Zealand’s finest pubs, bars, and homes.

The Donalds Woolpress

Once a staple in New Zealand shearing sheds, the Donalds Woolpress was a robust machine used for compressing and baling wool. Later reimagined by Andy of Black Dog Furniture...

Our Craftsman

With a team of qualified craftspeople, Black Dog transforms sustainable New Zealand timbers into heirloom-quality furniture designed to be treasured for generations.
