Taputapu print - Hapori
This beautiful A4 print is from Taputapu, Gisborne.
Hapori is inspired by traditional tukutuku, and symbolises strength and spirit found in communities and whānau.

The earthy tones evoke warmth and grounding, celebrating the resilience that our people continue to uphold.

"Kia Ora, I'm Nikki Kennedy, Director of Taputapu. My journey to reclaim Te Reo Māori and my Māori identity led to the creation of Taputapu which has two distinct brands: Taputapu Toi, specializing in graphic design services, and Taputapu Toa, our lifestyle brand offering Māori homeware products.
Originally from Gisborne, my quest to understand my identity drove me to study Te Reo Māori and Design Media, culminating in a Master's in Computer Graphic Design. Fusing my heritage with my creative passion, I founded Taputapu Toi to provide culturally significant graphic design for Māori businesses.
Our studio, now based in Gisborne, aims to foster cultural connections through our modern Māori-inspired designs, catering to businesses and homes nationwide"
