Our Vision:
To be New Zealand’s leading supplier of future proofed sustainable world-class designs that create ‘inspirational’ places to work and live

With over 30 years of experience in dealing with the International furniture and interior fit out supply sector, Alan and Jeanne Bertenshaw the co-owners of Matisse have forged a reputation unique in New Zealand with the world's leading manufacturers and designers of quality contemporary furniture for the home and office as well as kitchens, wardrobes and bathrooms.
In order to maintain our world-class reputation, Matisse is committed to only working with manufacturers that produce an all-encompassing level of quality and superior design, providing the highest levels of comfort and unmatched durability over time.

Matisse International - Environmental Policy

“We are passionate about design at Matisse and select only those pieces that will pass the test of time, provide us with inspiration and will survive for future generations to appreciate” - Alan Bertenshaw, Director

Since its conception, Matisse has worked on importing products based on The Matisse Quality Square in order to provide quality and longevity and ensure what we supply meets our criteria of sustainability, reusability and recyclability.

Matisse was formed on the principles of “Long Term Value” for its customers. We only work with international manufacturers that adhered strictly to five principles of longevity:

1. Quality of Manufacturing
2. Quality and Innovation of Raw Materials
3. Ecological Sensitivity
4. Quality of Design
5. Long Term Warranties for their product

Matisse believes in providing quality products manufactured by top companies using the best raw materials in order to provide quality residential and commercial furniture.

Our Stance on the Environment

Matisse is committed to achieving excellence in all our environmental practices. This is reflected in our environmental objective to; "seek environmental improvements in all aspects of our business including energy efficiency enhancements and waste reduction opportunities"

Guiding Principals for our company:

• Reduce - Purchases shall only be made when required and of the amount needed, purchases that reduce the use of materials/resources will be favoured; for example products that have minimal packaging or printers that print double sided.

• Reuse - Using the same item more than once and extending the useful life of products and equipment via appropriate maintenance, ensure all products are durable, have a long service life and are easy to maintain and upgrade.

• Recycle - Purchase products that are recycled or re-manufactured or contain recycled materials, or that can be recycled or re-manufactured.

• Revive - If you purchase your furniture from Matisse we will always want it back if you ever decide to relinquish it. We will find a new home or office to cherish it or put it to productive use for as long as possible. We do not want to see our furniture consigned to the landfill.
