NZ Designers Including Ian Blackwell Sell Their Souvenirs At Toggle
Hopeful NZ Designers will be acquainted with Ian Blackwell products and his reputation. Ian Blackwell was born in Te Awamutu, a farming city situated in the Waikato. Ian Blackwell's Mum and Pa were sharemilkers and they lived on farms in and round the Waikato until I was 8. In 1976 my folks took the brave move of turning their back on the farm and moved to Auckland in the hope there would be more opportunities for my sister and I.
I left school at the tender age of sixteen and started a Pattern Cutting and Footware Design tutelage for the Selby Shoe Company. An organization that had built it's reputation on sturdy practical footware for the over 50's ladies set. As you can imagine, not many best sellers were designed by myself. These were pre PC ( at Selby's anyhow ) days and shoes continued to be designed on mid size lasts wrapped in masking tape, with designs being drawn by pencil. Samples were all hand made and conferences ensued with sales staff to choose the seasons collection. How really" Project Runway! "
And just like project runway not everybody makes it. In the mid eighties Rogernomics hit town and "deregulation" was the new jargon word. The Footware and Clothing industries were one of the first to feel the effects. The Selby Shoe Company is now a block of apartments in St Lukes ( Auckland ).
Get yourself a trade boy! Was my Pas advice, it's stood me in an excellent position. On completion of my Carpentry / Cupboard Making tutelage, I did what most young Kiwi's still do, go abroad and party like it's 1999.
Actually 1999 was still in the future ( how old fashioned ), when I returned and in 1992 together with my best mate Jonathan Rugg started" The Wood & Box Company". We made glory boxes, wine racks, trays etc and sold them directly to the general public via "The Great New Zealand Craft Show". Fortunately we didn't know about carbon footprints in those days. Ours was powerful massive as we travelled from Whangarei to Invercargill doing 23 Homeshows and Craftshows a year!
As it seems we did party in 1999 as that was the year we sold "The Wood & Box Company". Sadly it now only exists on Trademe, so if you need a preloved wine or CD rack examine it.
The good news is you can still purchase my Ian Blackwell products. I have taken all my technical abilities and experience from over time to develop a range I am really proud of. I'm happily wed and live with my spouse, half a dog ( that's a different story ) and two pussies on Auckland's West Coast. Life is good. If you got this far thanks for your interest.
