NEW SHOWROOM: LIV+ by Living Design
A new showroom has arrived at Residium, bringing an extensive collection of interior materials, surfaces and fittings designed to help you make confident decisions for your home. LIV+ by Living Design is a new space to explore, compare and select leading European designed products for new builds, renovations, residential and commercial projects.
For over 15 years, Living Design has shaped interiors through the design and construction of premium kitchens, bathrooms and bespoke joinery, combining German craftsmanship with New Zealand living.
After working closely with a curated range of European materials, they launched LIV+ to share these specialist products more widely. This hands-on experience means they understand how each material performs in real homes, and can offer clear, practical guidance to support confident decisions.
The Products
Choosing finishes from samples or screens can be difficult. In the LIV+ Showroom at Residium, materials are presented to allow you to properly experience how they look, feel and work together within a space. You’re invited to touch, feel and interact with each range in person.
Architectural Surfaces - imi Surface Design
A collection of architectural surfaces designed to bring depth, texture, and character to interiors. From concrete, rust and metallic finishes, these refined composite materials with incredible surface depth offer a sophisticated alternative to standard wall and joinery finishes. imi Surfaces can be used in almost every application, from benchtops to furniture and floors.

Basins & Tapware: Antonio Frattini Tapware + Aqvato Custom 3D Printed Basins
Both brands beautifully balance form and function, offering a more considered approach to bathroom and kitchen design. Antonio Frattini has been around since 1933, and offers a blend of unique, yet simple designs, which seamlessly integrate and adapt to the language of your project. Aqvato Custom 3D Printed basins are designed and produced in Germany by Sandhelden, a company specialising in 3D manufacturing using quartz sand. You can see an extensive range from both collections in the showroom.
