TANIKO LIGHTS - 800mm Height x 210mm


Designed by David Trubridge, and developed by Phillipe Bajard, an intern student from ENSCI design school in Paris, France. Traditional patterns in Maori weaving for cloaks and clothing are called taniko. Made from 1.5mm natural bamboo plywood and nylon cable ties. One low wattage CFL light in each for maximum energy efficiency and long life.
Wall light versions (sconces) are also available. The shapes are designed so that their layout on a sheet of plywood fits perfectly, and the only waste is the sawdust from the cutter.
 

CRADLE

The open basket of the lights makes such a perfect hanging cradle that we just had to make it.  If the baby wakes, her movement rocks the cradle which sends her back to sleep.  It is made from bamboo plywood and plastic clips.  The terry quilt is made from 90% bamboo and 10% polyester. 'Cradle' is not yet in production.
