& spirits

Aotearoa’s Multi-Award Winning Letterpress Studio.

Our studio smells of ink and oil and beats to the gentle rhythm of vintage printing presses. Here, the magical relationship between plate, ink, paper, and pressure comes to life. Our cast iron presses deliver a tonne of beauty, leaving behind crisp, textured surfaces and tactile impressions. Inks are mixed by hand and paired with a curated range of papers. We build fresh, thoughtful designs. Soaked in ink & knowledge, we are here to create and share.

  • Fantastic Service

    We are so lucky to have the very talented Renee here in Whakatū, Nelson. We previously had our letterpress business cards produced in Auckland, but was so happy to discover that The Armarie Room can produce them just around the corner. So lovely to deal in-person and experience fantastic service from discussing ideas to the delivery of our beautiful cards.

  • Wow

    We had our wedding invitations done with Renee at The Armarie Room, and wow.. they exceeded our expectations. She was extremely prompt and worked with me to understand exactly what my vision was, then executed it to perfection. The invites are perfect, and we can’t wait to get our wedding menus printed with her too.

    Oh my gosh Renee they turned out so stunning - with a capital S!! Every little detail is absolutely perfect - the colour is exactly right, the blind deboss looks brilliant, the paper is so luxurious and I’m blown away with how even the tiniest of lines in the sketch have been picked up. The whole suite you’ve done for us over these past few months is just beyond beautiful, I couldn’t be more thankful for all the hard work you’ve put into every single piece.
