Introducing the Wool Hoop Series — our debut collection of regenerative wool lighting. Each piece explores the relationship between light and material, diffusing a soft, even glow through knitted New Zealand wool. Designed to bring acoustic calm and natural warmth to interior space, the Wool Hoop is made locally from traceable, regenerative fibre.

Our value chain is situated within the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, adhering to a place-based textile system called a fibreshed. We source wool directly from the farm and process it as locally as possible. Every step of our design considers the product’s environmental and social impact.
