Art Deco Trust

Alloyfold partnered with the Art Deco Trust, a heritage not-for-profit organisation operating from the restored Art Deco Centre in Napier, Hawke's Bay, to deliver 120 Hagen Conference Chairs for their venue refurbishment. 

The Trust, housed in a preserved 1930s building exemplifying Napier's status as the Art Deco Capital of the World, required seating that honoured their heritage setting whilst providing modern functionality for daily tours and two annual Art Deco festivals. 

The selected Hagen chairs featured beechwood seat shells with dark khaki upholstery, combining contemporary European design with natural grain finish and chrome steel frames that complemented the venue's Art Deco character whilst offering linking mechanisms and stackability up to 12 high for flexible event management. 

The project was completed in 2025, with Alloyfold demonstrating exceptional customer service through immediate consultation, sample chair evaluation, transparent communication during delays, and proactive post-delivery support. 

The Trust chose Alloyfold for the superior quality, aesthetic appeal, comfort, and functional features of the Hagen chair, benefitting from competitive wholesale pricing and comprehensive support. 

The successful project enhanced the Trust's venue capabilities for preserving New Zealand's Art Deco heritage whilst supporting Alloyfold's social enterprise mission, with profits contributing to Pathway's accommodation and employment services, ensuring visitors enjoy enhanced comfort whilst experiencing Napier's architectural treasures.
