We operate a local, circular supply chain that considers the whole lifecycle of every piece — from fibre to finished product. Our lighting and textiles are made in New Zealand, using wool grown at Palliser Ridge, a hill-country farm in South Wairarapa certified under both the Responsible Wool Standard and the Savory Institute's Land to Market regenerative programme. Each lighting piece is hand-assembled by our team on Waiheke Island. This relationship, and our entire North Island-based supply chain, reflect a wider model known as a fibreshed: sourcing and processing wool as close to its origin as possible, to support fair economic practices for growers and genuine soil and land regeneration — not just a lower footprint, but a positive one. Our goal is to build a transparent textile and product supply chain that sets a new standard for New Zealand's design industry.
The Wool Grows.
Wool grows all year round on the land at Palliser Ridge sheep station, Wairarapa, New Zealand.
Design.
Slow design and prototyping on Waiheke Island, New Zealand at our studio.
Shearing.
Wool is shorn every February and August.
Scouring.
Wool is sent to Napier, New Zealand for scouring (washing the greasy lanolin off).
Spinning.
Wool travels to Wellington, New Zealand for carding (alignment of the fibres) and spinning (turning the wool slivers into yarn).
Manufacture.
Yarn is processed into textiles in Auckland, utilising specialised knitting technology.
Assembly.
Products are manufactured and assembled into their final form by a team of local women on Waiheke Island and sent worldwide.
First life.
The product lives its long life. It is used and reused.
Upcycled, repurposed, or composted.
At the end of its first life, the product and its packaging can be repaired, upcycled, or repurposed. Once the complete life force has been exhausted, the fibre composts into soil, returning nutrients to the ground.
The Wool Grows.
The loop continues… Wool grows all year round on the land at Palliser Ridge sheep station, Wairarapa, New Zealand.
