About Us
Belinda Piacun came to Waiheke Island as a single mother in 2004 selling hand made mosaics and her clothing range at the Ostend market. There, she met Hazel Rachman, also an artist. Together they opened a small arcade shop in Oneroa and formed the business ‘Island Designs out of Waiheke’.
Initially selling local art and then sourcing artists work from all over New Zealand on commission. The business soon grew, and they expanded by opening an adjoining shop in the same arcade.
After a couple of successful years, slowly developing their product range a larger premises on the main road became available, and the business moved to the great position it is now!
Island is now fully owned by Belinda Piacun and after a major renovation on the building last winter it is a thriving business no visitor to Waiheke could miss!
