The horse bench (马儿板凳) — a small, handcrafted wooden bench shaped like a miniature horse — is a charming staple of traditional Chinese furniture. Once common in rural households across China, these benches were used by children, elders, or even in farming communities for resting, working, or socialising. Now, this humble piece of heritage furniture is finding new relevance in New Zealand's interior design and antique appreciation communities.
In Aotearoa, where craftsmanship, sustainability, and cultural fusion are highly valued, the 马儿板凳 is increasingly viewed as a functional art piece. Whether placed in a minimalist Wellington loft, a rustic Queenstown cabin, or as a conversation starter in a boutique Auckland design store, the bench bridges cultures and eras with its simple elegance and cultural storytelling.
New Zealand collectors, stylists, and even early childhood educators are showing interest in such heirloom objects that reflect slower living, storytelling through design, and multicultural appreciation. With New Zealand’s growing connections to Asian cultures through migration, education, and travel, the horse bench is part of a broader movement toward decor that’s meaningful, handmade, and rooted in tradition.
As Kiwis increasingly seek unique furniture pieces that carry depth and cultural legacy, the 马儿板凳 is no longer just a bench — it's a symbol of cross-cultural respect, historic preservation, and timeless design sensibility.

Chinese traditional chopsticks (传统筷) are far more than just eating utensils — they’re a living symbol of cultural grace, craftsmanship, and culinary ritual. In New Zealand, as Asian cuisine continues to soar in popularity, more Kiwis are reaching for authentic, artisan-made chopsticks as part of a broader appreciation for East Asian culture and mindful dining.
These handcrafted chopsticks — often made of bamboo, rosewood, boxwood, or lacquered hardwood — tell stories of dynasty-era etiquette, family customs, and sustainable material use. With Aotearoa’s growing Asian diaspora and interest in slow food, traditional chopsticks are now being embraced in homes, restaurants, and design spaces across the country.
From Wellington’s night markets to Auckland’s boutique kitchenware stores, traditional Chinese chopsticks are being sold not only as practical tools but as art objects and cultural gifts. They’re also becoming part of fusion dining experiences, Asian cooking classes, and even ceremonial practices like weddings or Lunar New Year celebrations.
This cultural crossover is helping New Zealanders reconnect with the values of intention, elegance, and heritage at the dinner table. Whether it’s using chopsticks to elevate a homemade dumpling feast or gifting them as a sign of respect, these humble tools are quietly reshaping how we eat — and how we connect across cultures.
