Ian Blackwell is a New Zealand company that produces of a range of unique New Zealand-themed wooden gifts and souvenirs. Ian Blackwell is named after its founder, who, along with his wife Kitty, designs and markets their products from the family home on Auckland’s West Coast. Most of Ian Blackwell’s products are made from kiln-dried New Zealand native Rimu veneer and finished with organic citrus-based oil. Rimu is unique because no two pieces of timber have the same grain and tone in color. This gives each product made from this special New Zealand wood its own distinct personality and character. Every piece is finished carefully and personally by hand to ensure that only the best and most elegant products leave the production line.
