    In 1937 at the age of 12, David Arthur Lewis started making letterboxes in his spare time and selling them to Smiths City. In 1946, after completing his cabinet-making
    apprenticeship, he formed D A Lewis & Company. The company started out in David’s backyard shed, manufacturing side-tables and bedroom furniture, sold through Smiths
    City, Holmes and Sons, and McKenzie and Willis. Soon David expanded his range to make dining tables and occasional furniture, and in 1958 started manufacturing sofas and
    lounge suites. The good people of Christchurch knew a fine piece of furniture when they saw it! Business grew rapidly and D A Lewis relocated in 1961 to much larger
    premises in Manchester Street to meet increased demand and have room to build the large range of furniture they now manufactured. By the late 1970’s the company was
    wholesaling furniture throughout New Zealand, and by the 1980’s, DA Lewis was exporting to Australia and Papua New Guinea. Commercial contracts for hotels, motels and
    institutions were also being undertaken from the 1970’s.

                                                                                                                                            we still make the odd piece today, like this
                                                                                                                                                        Showood Recliner

A fire in April 1985 almost completely destroyed the Manchester Street factory. David Lewis said, “We will do our best not to let our customers
down”. He didn’t let them down, and DA Lewis was not deterred by this setback. The company bought the old H. W. Smith Timber yard on
Main South Road, opposite the Wigram RNZAF Base. By April 1988 the new factory had a floor area of 90,000 sq ft., 40,000 sq. ft. more than
the old factory and the new showroom was a massive 22,000 sq. ft with room for further expansion. In 2015 the interior design was totally
transformed into being the showpiece of furniture stores in NZ. David Lewis made the DA Lewis brand synonymous with beautiful, high quality
New Zealand made furniture. Today our team of talented designers, craftsmen and women continue his tradition - for over 75 years D.A.Lewis
has proudly been the leader of furniture fashion in New Zealand.

     Creativity is what drives the Amalfi Collection towards the idea of reinventing garden furniture as
     we know it. The Lyon is one of our outdoor pieces of art. It is as beautiful from behind as it is in
     front, and can be used in multiple configurations.

Inside is now

     Amalfi Lounge’s outdoor furniture is upholstered with Sunbrella fabric that is suitable for outdoor usage throughout the whole year. This furniture is not designed to be 100%
     waterproof, but it let’s water through as quickly as possible. By using breathable materials, we ensure a constant air circulation inside our furniture. This makes it possible that, after heavy
     rain, the furniture can dry completely after 30 minutes. The clean lines and the gorgeous aluminium parallel -slats of the Breeze collection are available in black or white settings.

              Accessories are more than beauty - they are personal pieces that communicate your taste, your style, your soul. A room undressed is like writing
              a novel wi thout punctuation. It’s the little things that matter most. It may be that pop of colour, the size of a mirror or the comfort of the floor rug,
     TABLES   that finishes your room. At D.A.Lewis, we have more options which means more chances to get the inspirational look you are craving
