Introducing Du Soleil

Du Soleil takes its name from the Route du Soleil, the road south through France that generations of holidaymakers have followed toward the sun. It is a fitting name for a collection built around that same feeling: slowing down, warm days, and time spent outdoors with the people you love. Designed by McKenzie & Willis for our customers, Du Soleil is shaped by the New Zealand landscape and the way we live here, creating outdoor furniture that helps you unwind, relax and make the most of summer in your own outdoor living space.

Designed for the Way New Zealanders Live

Du Soleil is the culmination of more than twenty years of helping New Zealanders furnish their outdoor spaces. In that time we have learned what matters here: furniture that handles our conditions, seating you can genuinely relax into, and designs that feel at home against a New Zealand backdrop rather than imported from somewhere else.

That understanding is brought to life by a design team with fifteen years of experience creating outdoor furniture for leading brands around the world, and crafted in Indonesia using quality materials and skilled workmanship. The result is a collection that brings genuine quality within easy reach, with considered design at its core and details that are quietly practical, from simple straps that keep cushions in place to proportions that invite you to sit down and stay a while. For busy New Zealanders, it is furniture that makes unwinding effortless, turning a deck or garden into a genuine outdoor sanctuary.

A Quiet, Timeless Aesthetic

There is a calm simplicity to Du Soleil. Clean, architectural frames in solid teak and espresso powder-coated aluminium are paired with deep, generously cushioned seating in soft, natural tones. Squared, structured silhouettes sit alongside softer, rounded forms, from sculptural drum-style tables to gently curved armchairs, so a setting can be layered rather than uniform. The palette stays warm and neutral throughout, letting the materials and the landscape do the talking. It is design made to sit quietly in a space and stay relevant for years, rather than chase a season.

What Sets Du Soleil Apart

Du Soleil is a collection we are proud to call our own, created around how we know New Zealanders like to live outdoors, and available exclusively at McKenzie & Willis.

Designed by McKenzie & Willis

Du Soleil is our own outdoor living brand, designed by us for our customers, drawing on more than twenty years of understanding how New Zealanders live outdoors.

Quality Materials, Crafted with Care

Every piece is built from A-grade Indonesian teak, powder-coated aluminium, quality outdoor foam and marine-grade outdoor fabrics, chosen for comfort and for how they perform outdoors. Du Soleil brings quality materials and considered construction together at a price that makes good outdoor living achievable.

Details that Make Relaxing Easy

Considered design sits at the heart of the collection, with thoughtful details throughout that make Du Soleil simple to live with, so your outdoor space stays as effortless as it is inviting.

Made for the New Zealand Climate

Our conditions are demanding, with strong UV, salt air, heat and cold. Du Soleil is made to handle all of it, with teak that weathers gracefully to a soft silver-grey, rust-resistant powder-coated aluminium, and fabrics made to sit in the sun and shrug off a summer downpour.
