A dramatic statement in knitted form and light.
The Hiwa 80 reimagines the classic large-volume pendant through the softness and structure of knitted wool. Designed for expansive interiors and generous ceiling heights, it brings sculptural presence to large open spaces while maintaining a remarkable sense of lightness. Despite its scale, the knitted wool form appears almost weightless. The open knit structure allows any breezes to pass through, minimising movement. Its softly faceted geometry and gentle curves introducing warmth, texture, and a quiet feminine elegance. Our woollen lights work beautifully in warm, textural interiors, from modern coastal homes to mountain retreats.
Ideal as a main feature over large dining tables, large stairwells, or to fill high-stud living areas with volume, the Hiwa 80 creates a warm focal point within the room. The concealed bulb softens glare, allowing the knitted wool to gently diffuse light and create a welcoming glow, bold in scale, yet always comfortably at home within the space.
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.
Made in New Zealand.
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.
