Welcome to Klay
Klay is a homeware label based in Auckland, New Zealand. Many of our items are made by our little team in our Eden Terrace workroom, ensuring quality and care in every piece.
In addition to our own creations, we also offer a curated selection of homeware products that we trust and recommend—items that meet our high standards for both design and durability.
Our cushions are back
This is our first new cushion release in over two years. They are labour intensive to make, and over the past couple of years we have been refining how we make the inners, experimenting with different materials and adjusting the process until we were really happy with the result.
The biggest change is the wool inners. We are now using a beautiful 100% virgin New Zealand wool, traceable to farmers on the east coast of New Zealand. It has made a noticeable difference. The cushions feel lighter, softer and bouncier than our previous cushions, while still keeping the dense, sculptural quality that makes them recognisably Klay.
The inners are what make these cushions special. They are made by hand from cotton and wool and carefully built up with layers of wool, with a lot of work going into getting the filling, shape and density right. We now feel confident that we are using the best quality fill we can, with a level of care and attention to detail that makes these a genuinely high-quality product.
We are now using the beautiful Wisewool products to make our cushion inners. Wisewool is one of the oldest businesses in New Zealand. A family business that is now in its fifth generation. They source raw material from a trusted network of more than 250 local farms across the East Coast of New Zealand. They ensure every bale is audited under the New Zealand Farm Assurance Programme (NZFAP), guaranteeing world-class standards for animal welfare and environmental management.
Their product is very special and we are proud to now be using it in our cushions.
New postcards
To celebrate our new cushion release we have two new artworks for the postcards we send out with orders. These were made for us by artist, chef and entrepreneur Erchen Chang.
