SONAVAR · Mid-Century Furniture
Mid-Century furniture for warm, architectural interiors.
A focused collection built around warm timber, useful storage, considered proportions and modernist forms. The aim is not to imitate a period showroom, but to select furniture that works naturally in contemporary New Zealand homes, apartments, hospitality spaces and listening rooms.

Collection structure
Designed around the room, not endless product pages.
SONAVAR is organised around useful furniture, sound, coffee, light and room functions. Exact brands, models, materials, finishes, dimensions, availability and freight are confirmed against the selected product before quotation.
Dining
Tables and seating that keep the room visually light while retaining the warmth of timber.
- Dining tables
- Dining chairs
- Benches
- Bar and counter seating
Storage & media
Low storage is particularly useful for modernist rooms, vinyl collections and AV equipment.
- Sideboards
- Credenzas
- Media consoles
- Shelving and room dividers
Work & reading
Smaller pieces for studies, reading corners and flexible apartment interiors.
- Desks
- Writing tables
- Reading chairs
- Book and display storage
Materials
Finish and construction are treated as part of the design rather than a colour choice at the end.
- Walnut and warm timber pathways
- Oak and lighter timber options
- Leather and woven upholstery
- Metal and timber combinations
Room pairing
Mid-century furniture can connect directly into Apollo's vinyl, coffee, lighting and listening-room sections.
- Turntable furniture
- Record storage
- Coffee credenzas
- Listening-room seating
SONAVAR approach
Modernist character without turning the site into a replica-furniture catalogue.
SONAVAR will keep this range curated. Where a product references a recognised design era or form, the product page must be clear about the actual maker, materials and provenance rather than implying an original designer piece.
