Experiential Design in the Wellington Region

Famous for its creativity and cultural vibrancy, Wellington is a hub for innovative design and experiential projects. Nestled between hills and a picturesque harbor, the city’s natural beauty provides a unique backdrop for experiential design.

Notable projects include “Urban Tales: Shadow Typography,” created by Katie Bevin. This time-based, site-specific installation uses environmental typography and shadows to create a dynamic and interactive experience in Wellington’s Waitangi Park​. Another key project is Te Mātāwai, which features tactile signage using locally sourced timber to blend sustainability with cultural storytelling.

Join us to explore new trends, collaborate on exciting projects, and help shape the future of design in Welly. Welcome to SEGD Wellington!
