Five of our favourite pieces are part of Toi Tauranga Art Gallery's latest exhibition, on now until 25 October 2026.

We're proud to share that we are a product supplier for Private View, the new exhibition at Toi Tauranga Art Gallery.

It's a collaboration between the gallery and interior designer Kathrine McDonald of Kathrine McDonald Design.

"Private View brings art back to where most of us actually live with it, in the lounge, the dining room and the hallway"

Rather than white walls and gallery lighting, the exhibition recreates the rhythm of a home, where artworks share the room with furniture, rugs and the lamps you switch on as the day fades.

Furniture, rugs and lighting from designers in Aotearoa and beyond sit alongside the art, so the show looks at how art, interiors and everyday life talk to each other.

"Lighting doesn't just make a space usable, it shapes how you experience everything in it"

In a home, art is rarely lit like it is in a gallery. It shares a room with lamps, windows and the mood of the evening, which is what makes this exhibition such a good fit for us.

Lighting doesn't just make a space usable, it shapes how you experience everything in it, from the texture of a painting to the warmth of a dining table. Getting the light right is what lets a room feel like a home.

"In a home, light and art work as a pair"

INLITE's pieces are part of that everyday layer. Wästberg's Cone pendants in the M1 and M2 sizes hang like they would over a dining table or reading nook, while the Halo pendants, Alto floor lamp and Isle sconce light the room at different heights, the way a real home is lit.

The Yamagiwa Taliesin floor lamp in oak, a Frank Lloyd Wright design, adds the warmth of timber and the feel of a piece collected over time.

Together they show that in a home, light and art work as a pair. The glow that makes a room comfortable is also what brings a painting to life at the end of the day.
