MY LIGHTING DESIGNS ARE INSPIRED BY MY DEEP IMMERSION IN NEW ZEALAND’S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

HINAKI 


 

Woven in time, the Hinaki sculpture is finely crafted from wind-fall Manuka with delicate Brass detailing. Inside, a family of Tuna (eels) provide soft dappled light as they swim freely. 

This collaboration between Studio2 Architecture and James Russ Studio celebrates the genius of traditional Pacific cultures, blending ancient traditions with contemporary technology.

Materials used: Brass, Locally sourced Manuka
