About Us

Striving to be Simply Better influences everything we do...

We know that doing your bathroom can be a daunting and expensive project, be it starting from scratch, a refit, of just replacing a vanity or storage unit. We also know you mightn't have the budget you'd like, but that you still need to make the right choices, and achieve the best possible outcome.

That’s why, as the leading New Zealand bathroom furniture brand, we're focussed on helping you before, during and after the process, so you can get it right. It's part of St Michel's vision of being Simply Better.

Our end goal is to enhance your daily lifestyle by making your bathroom a better looking and functioning environment, with great furniture made here in New Zealand by innovative Kiwi designers.

St Michel has grown to become New Zealand’s leading bathroom furniture brand, supplying the widest range of products through leading plumbing and building outlets around the country.

Founded in 1987 by Wally Burns, a pioneer in the New Zealand Bathroom Industry with over 40 years experience, we’re still proudly New Zealand and family owned. With Wally’s guidance and leadership the St Michel brand’s reputation was built on inspired design, high manufacturing standards and a commitment to the best possible after-sale customer support.

Today, we are the leading manufacturer of furniture in the bathroom category. At our modern production facility in Auckland our team uses its unsurpassed knowledge and skills to ensure everything we produce meets the exacting design and production standards of Wally’s original vision.

The goal in doing this is to create world-class furniture that make New Zealand bathrooms better looking and better functioning environments.

Working in-house with our furniture craftsmen and production specialists is great.

It means we can deliver the best results, from design aesthetic and functionality, through to product durability. We work really closely together during product development and the manufacturing process.

This hands-on, end-to-end approach means we can fine tune the design, identify any issues, and learn better ways to do things along the way. It’s just so much more efficient and effective than trying to work with manufacturers overseas. It also means we can evolve existing ranges as we learn new techniques.

I see this approach as being crucial to the company’s overall goal of creating furniture to make people’s bathrooms better looking, better functioning environments.
