Thoughtful Objects, Made in Aotearoa
Henry Caird is an industrial designer and founder of the home goods brand Oddthing - a New Zealand–based industrial design studio creating objects that solve real needs while looking beautiful and lasting longer.
When they can’t find the right solution, they design it.
From lighting and homewares to storage and bespoke pieces. Every product begins in their Auckland design office before being prototyped and refined with local fabricators across the country.
The result: award-winning, locally made pieces, carefully assembled in-house to meet exacting standards.
DESIGNER — HENRY CAIRD, NZ
Henry is a New Zealand-based industrial designer with over a decade of experience in the product development space.
“For Oddthing, I focus on designing new products for local production. My process is informed by experimenting with manufacturing techniques and exploring three-dimensional forms. It centres on simplification, while never losing sight of creating character design elements, enhancing user experience, and extending product lifespan."
