Rooted in the values of sustainability and craftsmanship, we create taonga from locally sourced and reclaimed materials reflecting a deep respect for the natural world and it’s history. Each piece we craft is not only functional but carries the stories of it its ancestors. By giving new life to materials destined for landfill, we return and uplift their mana, which is carried into the homes they enter.
