Named after Hiwa-i-te-rangi, the Matariki star associated with aspiration and new beginnings, HIWA explores the potential of New Zealand strong wool as a lighting material. Its faceted, star-like form is shaped by the natural behaviour of knitted wool, softly diffusing light while adding warmth, texture, and acoustic softness to a space.
Crafted from undyed Romney wool grown at Palliser Ridge Farm in the Wairarapa, each piece reflects a connection to Aotearoa’s rural landscape and a commitment to circular design, natural materials, and local craftsmanship. Designed and assembled by hand on Waiheke Island, and made in Aotearoa New Zealand.
