Stellar Haus
LED Night Poi set - USB rechargeable
This awesome set includes 2 mid/long LED Poi with handles so you can spin, twist and twirl in a dazzling display of colour and light. The straps are adjustable so the whole whaanau can have a go!
There are 9 different modes including single colours, colour cycles and strobe effects to choose from.
Poi balls are made from a soft and squishy PVC and are 8cm in diameter, they are easy to use and provide hours of fun outdoors or indoors.
The korero below is from the whānau business that supply us with these amazing Night Poi, Stellar, based here in Ōtautahi Christchurch:
Ka mihi tēnei ki ngā pūmanawa tuatahi o te toi poi, arā ko te iwi Māori o Aotearoa.
We acknowledge the indigenous origins of poi, the creators and pioneers of toi Māori and all efforts to honour and retain the ways of those who lit the trail ahead of us.
POI HISTORY
The kupu (word) poi means both sphere (n), and to toss (v) and the kupu is now synonymous worldwide with poi performance.
The art of poi has long been practiced by Māori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa, New Zealand and there is research indicating the use of poi in our early Polynesian neighbours' communities.
Traditional use was likely to develop coordination, strength and dexterity, but I'm sure the captivating playfulness included games, and led to the transition to the stage.
Now the poi is a component of most kapahaka competition sets and a favourite for many performers and observers alike.
Poi performance has also increased in pop and sub cultures worldwide, and it is perhaps regrettable that the cultural aspects haven't travelled with it.

Ehara i te Pakihi Māori tūturu engari he Māori te nuinga o ngā kaimahi i kōnei. Nō Tapuika (Te Arawa whānui) tētahi o mātou, nō Ngāi Tahu hoki ētahi atu.
We do not call ourselves a Māori business (that title goes to those focused on kaupapa Māori) but we are predominately Māori whānau running and working Stellar Haus.
