What Industria Store is known for
Industria sells homeware and gifts at The Colombo in Christchurch's Sydenham district. Its selection combines work by New Zealand artists with international design across art and jewellery as well as household objects. The Colombo shop at 363 Colombo Street is separate from Industria's Rolleston location.
Industria first opened in 2012 and has developed as a Christchurch gift and homewares retailer. The business operates at The Colombo in Sydenham and at Rolleston Square, combining local artists with international design. The copy is signed by Janine and the Industria Team, and the store describes its selection as design-led and budget friendly. The catalogue supports that breadth with named makers and concrete categories. Robert Gordon Pottery appears alongside furniture and lighting. Jewellery is presented with art and giftware elsewhere in the range. Tony Cribb and Tin Man are listed within the art section, while vintage maps and tourist prints sit beside contemporary wall pieces. Home sections cover coffee tables and cabinets, followed by bookcases and planters. Vases appear with plates and serving pieces. Smaller objects include journals and enamelware. Candles and diffusers form a separate category. The current range also identifies materials and makers on individual products, including weather-resistant polyresin garden figures and Schylling NeeDoh sensory toys. Those examples show how Industria mixes New Zealand work with imported design rather than presenting every object as locally made. The 2012 opening and two locations near Christchurch give the entry a clearer identity than a generic gift shop description.
