Retro Rondos and more

Modus New Zealand made Rondo, FLX300, Utube and Qubo all feature in Bright Wild & Thomas office in Rotorua. Darryl Church gave a retro feel to the Rondos by suggesting clear orange acrylic sides. Its great to see what the factory managed to achieve only a few months after the fire in our Auckland office.

Modus' new building a winner!

The best awards are held by The Designers institute of New Zealand every year, they focus on great design from all around new Zealand. Arranged into four categories, graphic, interactive, product and spatial. Our new home at 8 Canada street picked up a silver gong in the spatial category.

If you're in the area stop in and check it out, we would be more than happy to show you around. We think it deserved gold, but then we would say that wouldn't we?

Modus.v2 is up and running....

As of Monday 6th September, Modus Lighting are relocated in our new building at 8 Canada St, Newton, CBD.  A few photos of the first day in the Auckland Sales office are attached, if you are passing call in to have a look or make the effort to drive past at night to view the "LightBox"......

Modus on the Move!!!

Everybody at Modus is starting to get excited that we will finally be moving to new premises, and putting the last memories of the fire behind us. 


The new premises at 8 Canada Street Newton are the complete antithesis of our current 'temporary residence'. Designed by Wingate and Farquhar, it was described in Pro-design Magazine as a 'Rare Beast'.
