As a former designer in Singapore, and always having a love for anything with a story, history or just a little unique, when faced with an excess of old building materials left over from a major home renovation when returning home, the solution was clear, how can I use and make something from all this......
Wanting to fill some wall space when done with something unique and personal, some of that
"junk" came in handy and putting our street name, postcode on a piece would do the trick, then a large piece with places we lived on old fence posts planted the seed and from there the unique brand 5032 was born. Called so because both living and creating in Kapiti and 5032 is the area postcode. Using recycled materials and embracing the patina, age and history of each piece, mixing it with typography and area specific code's creates unique one off art pieces. Because no two materials sourced are the same nor are the resulting pieces, so you are guaranteed an original. With an endless array of possibilities' and scope for both here and overseas its impossible to nail everyone's code every time, so why not get a unique piece created specifically. So whether it's a statement piece for you home, office, the bach, gift for someone special, or just wanting something a bit different to express a special place to you get in touch with your requirements, its great to have an excuse to get creating! So what's your code??
5032 is not just about creating unique pieces its about a look, style and feeling. Relaxed, nostalgic and desirable. Adding upcycled treasures and unique and interesting finds compliment and create the style of 5032.
