We’re proud to be rounding off our year of The Selby activity with a limited edition run of boxed prints from The Selby himself!

The boxes each contain 10 A4 sized prints – matt finish, white border – and a certificate of authenticity. Each box has 10 different photos.

Retailing for only NZD$100, these rare gift boxes capture Todd’s time in New Zealand, where he had the opportunity to shoot some of The Department Store’s favourite people in their homes and work spaces.

As a special thank you from Todd and to acknowledge the Christchurch Earthquake from February 2011 (which happened on the day Todd arrived in NZ) the sales of all box sets will be donated to the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Relief Fund.

These boxes make the perfect gift for any discerning, design-minded person with taste (that includes you!) Buy your set online here or call (09) 489 6687 to reserve your set now!
