The crisp white wall surfaces in the lift lobbies at the new Fonterra offices are by Resene, a company that underpins New Zealand design in many ways.

Off-whites are a versatile backdrop for offices, allowing occupants to add their own finishing touches. In Fonterra's fit-out, the lift lobbies and meeting room exteriors feature Resene Double Alabaster, from the Resene Whites & Neutral collection. However, Resene does even more for the country's designers than provide high quality wall and ceiling finishes.

An integral part of the commercial architecture industry in New Zealand, Resene is also behind key events in the design community's calender.

For example, it sponsors the prestigious Resene Timber Design Awards – an annual event that show-cases the best and most innovative in architects and designers working with this sustainable material.

Resene also supports the Resene Architecture and Design Film Festival – a showing of international films focused on the world of architecture and design generally.
