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 were masters at Mid-century modern -

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.

endless options
You can make every piece of D.A.Lewis furniture your own. All of our furniture can be customised to suit your needs and style - height, comfort, finish and fabric can be tailor-made
to your inspiration. Most of our sofas come as a chair, 2, 2.5 and 3 seater, some as 3.5 seaters, corner suites and chaises. All have the opportunity to be upholstered in a choice of
1000's of fabrics. Our designs are born of the very best influences from NZ and around the world. Quality and value are the hallmarks of D.A.Lewis - and always will be.

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
