A feminine statement in knitted form and light.
The Hiwa 40 reimagines the smaller feature pendant through the softness and structure of knitted wool. Designed for small to medium spaces and lower ceilings, it offers a refined expression of the HIWA form.
Ideal as a main light in bedrooms, studies, dining settings, and smaller living spaces. The concealed bulb softens glare while the knitted wool gently diffuses light, filling the room with a warm, inviting glow.
Part of the HIWA lighting whānau, a design study exploring how far New Zealand strong wool can be pushed as a lighting material. Crafted from undyed New Zealand strong wool, designed and assembled by hand on Waiheke Island.
Collection — HIWA
Named after Hiwa-i-te-rangi, the Matariki star associated with aspiration and new beginnings, HIWA features a faceted, star-like geometry shaped by the natural behaviour of knitted wool, with a subtle nod to mid-century silhouettes.
At the heart of HIWA is an exploration of New Zealand strong wool as a high-performance lighting material, using its natural properties to soften sound and diffuse light. Crafted from undyed Romney wool grown at Palliser Ridge Farm in the Wairarapa, each piece carries a quiet connection to Aotearoa’s rural landscape, bringing warmth and texture to architectural spaces.
Made from 100% certified regenerative New Zealand strong wool, HIWA reflects a commitment to circular design, natural materials, and local craftsmanship.
Designed and assembled by hand on Waiheke Island, and made in Aotearoa New Zealand.
