Queenstown landscape architect Jude Van Brandenburg from @jvb_landscape_design approaches each project with a focus on connection, commitment and a sense of fun. His Mill Vista garden balances expansive views of Lake Hayes and The Remarkables with intimate, sheltered spaces, creating moments of openness and enclosure. Layered planting, sculptural elements and considered materials bring depth, movement and seasonal interest, while thoughtful design ensures each space feels both personal and immersive. The result is a landscape that is dynamic, expressive and deeply connected to its environment.

Object Van Brandenburg Bud Oil Burner, cast in solid bronze, is conceived as more than a vessel for aromatic oils. Its sculptural presence and timeless refinement bring a quiet, enduring sophistication to any space.
To use: Add 5–10 drops of your preferred essential oil to the upper basin. Place a tealight in the base, replace the lid, and allow the gentle warmth to release a calming fragrance that settles into the room.
In from our bronze foundry ready for you!
A quiet dialogue between craft, light, and landscape.
Set against the beauty of the coast, softly sculptural forms, informed by nature. Objects that hold space. Objects that invite touch. - Object van Brandenburg

Introducing our Kōwhai Christmas Ornament — a sculpted celebration of form, light, and the quiet poetry of nature.
3D-printed in our Dunedin studio using NZ wool-based PLA, each piece captures the elegance of the kōwhai bloom as it hangs in stillness, its golden stamen gently swaying like a whisper of summer in the festive season.
An ornament that feels both contemporary and timeless — a small gesture of Aotearoa to adorn your tree, your home, or the home of someone you love.

Home grown peonies in my mint green @object_vb vase. Loving this colour combo and the way the waxy shiny petals contrast with the matte texture of the vase. A quiet little moment I thought was worth capturing !
