Papa Huia Ngakau
Papa Huia Ngakau
Small, rustic, heart-shaped treasure box, designed by Wiremu Barriball, made from recycled Rimu and decorated with the stunning artwork of Revolution Aotearoa.
Crafted from recycled native Rimu wood, this keepsake box features an engraved design inspired by Pūhoro. By blending traditional Māori aesthetics with contemporary design, the result is something that feels both modern and nostalgic, exuding authenticity and cultural significance.
The Pūhoro design stems from the deep bond Māori have with water and navigation. When a hoe (paddle) hits the water, ripples and waves form, trailing behind the moving canoe (waka). This fluid movement reflects the Pūhoro pattern. Just as the paddle propels the canoe, the Pūhoro symbolizes life's momentum, journey, and continual movement.
Proudly made in Aotearoa, NZ.
