Artiste Vermeer planks provide the perfect dark moody backdrop for this store.

In the heart of Auckland’s Commercial Bay, Aotea’s flagship experience centre offers a serene counterpoint to the city outside. Designed by Wonder, the space reflects the brand’s deep connection to Aotea, Great Barrier Island—where each therapeutic skincare product is crafted by hand using native botanicals and traditional knowledge.

Drawing inspiration from the island’s raw beauty, the interior blends natural textures and organic forms to create a calm, tactile retreat. Forté Artiste Vermeer flooring anchors the space with rich, timeworn character—its earthy tones echoing the landscape that inspires Aotea’s story.
