The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
Auckland, New Zealand
All project descriptions are provided by SBID Awards entrants.
Natalie Du Bois of Du Bois Design reimagined a cramped 1910 Auckland villa kitchen into a vibrant, character-rich hub for a family navigating severe food allergies. Inspired by a beloved Mad Hatter’s Tea Party painting, the design fuses traditional English elegance with playful, bespoke detailing. A fluid U-shaped layout, bespoke crafted rangehood canopy, and tailored storage maximise both charm and daily functionality. The result is a spirited, timeless kitchen—celebrating classic craftsmanship while delivering a highly personal, joyful space at the heart of the home.
