THE PROJECT
Mr Mod founder Ross Morrison is the custodian of this threebedroom house in Christchurch's St Martins designed by late architect Ian Athfield.
Most people who manage to secure an iconic mid-century house in New Zealand might already own one or two items that would fit seamlessly into the scheme — an Eames chair or Arco floor lamp, for instance — but would struggle to deck out the spaces in full modernist mode. Not so Mr Mod, Ross Morrison, who started his collection in the early 1990s and had just the right thing for every nook and cranny of this Ian Athfield-designed beauty — and then some.
