Kitset Design
Shipping as kitset vastly reduces the harmful effects of moving items around the globe. On average our kitset lights are 1/40th the size of an assembled one.
Easy Assembly
It's easy to assemble your light via an online video and paper instructions included in your kitset. Take a look at our assembly videos to see how it's done!
Warmth of Wood
We select the best plywood makers to source material from for our lights. Wood is a beautiful material that brings nature indoors, making a space feel warmer and relaxing.
Made in New Zealand
Aotearoa (or New Zealand as it's known globally) is a beautiful, lush green country, powered by predominantly green energy. Kiwis are known as inventors, great sportspeople, world-class filmmakers, environmentalists, record-breakers and also for world leading art and design!
Available in Colours!
This light is available in our full colour range! From bone-like white to bright popping colours (including Black) selecting colour for your light can bring your space to life!
Regenerating Waterways
One New Zealand native tree is planted for every three lights sold through our permanent partnership with the Maraetōtara Tree Trust. This trust is local to us, thus we can visit the positive effects our customers are contributing to!
Technical Information
About
The droplet-like form of Kōura mimics the curled form of our native freshwater shrimp kōura, named by the indigenous Māori people. David was also inspired by the intricately made traps used by early Māori to catch kōura. Kōura is predominantly used as a feature sculptural lighting piece, to attract attention to a certain location. Often it hangs over a bar, in an entry space, stairwell or even hall. It has a strong presence of calm purity and beauty that can be amplified by the choice of finish.
