The Department Store | Part Two

Katie Lockhart

Based in Auckland, the very talented Katie Lockhart runs her own design consultancy, and is a sought-after interior designer both here and internationally. Her 'simple, pared-back aesthetic' worked beautifully when it came to bringing The Department Store to life.

In 2011 Todd Selby visited New Zealand with the Department Store. So cool! You can see my previous post on The Selby here. 

While Todd was here he did what he does best and produced a stunning series of photos of Katie Lockhart and Curious Films director Darryl Ward. Check it out here.
