The wool in our lighting begins at Palliser Ridge, a regenerative hill-country farm in South Wairarapa. Guided by kaitiakitanga — the guardianship of people, animals, and land — Palliser Ridge is one of Aotearoa’s first farms certified under the Responsible Wool Standard and the Land to Market regenerative programme through the Savory Institute. Its Wairere Romney flock produces the strong, beautiful fibre that gives our lighting both structure and luminescence. We source directly from the farm, paying well above commodity rates to recognise the true value of New Zealand strong wool. Each year, we visit during shearing season to stay connected to the rhythm of the land and the growers who make this material possible. From here, the wool travels a fully local journey — scoured in Napier, spun in Wellington, knitted in Auckland, and assembled in our Waiheke Island studio. Every Lof light carries this traceable story of place — a living material connection between farm, fibre, and architecture.
