Ānuku By Aaron

At Ānuku, every taonga carries a story

Before we introduce the product, we honour the whakaaro behind it - the kupu, the pattern, the plant, the whakapapa, the feeling.

Because our kaupapa is not just about creating beautiful things. It's about reconnecting people with te reo Māori, te taiao and the stories that live within our everyday spaces

ĀNUKU LAUNCHES 5TH SEPTEMBER.

Every taonga carries a story.

We created Ānuku because we believe our homes can be a place of learning, connection and remembering.

A kupu on a jar.
A pot plant with meaning.
A print that carries story.
A taonga that starts a conversation.

These small things matter. They help bring te reo Māori and te ao Māori into the spaces we live in every day.

ĀNUKU OPENS 5TH SEPTEMBER.

Nau mai, haere mai

Ānuku was created from a simple whakaaro - that te reo Māori, te taiao, mātauranga and meaningful taonga belong in our everyday spaces.

We are a whānau-led kaupapa creating taonga that help reconnect people with language, culture, story and place.

From homeware to mahi toi, every piece is created with intention.

Not just to be used, but to be felt.

ANUKU LAUNCHES 5TH SEPTEMBER.

Re-indigenising our spaces, one Kupu at a time.

E mihi nu nui ana ki a koutou kia tae mai nei ki te whakaako ngā rongoā māori ki Te Herenga Waka o Ōrewa Marae.

Our final series to our 3 part Rongoā Wānanga series, what an amazing journey we have all been on over the last 6 months and I'm very thankful to you all that have been a part of this with us and to have been able to share this matauranga with you all.

Learning about the ahua of our rongoā and being able to describe what it looks like, feels like and smells like, our hikoi journey through Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa and to finish off our Wānanga series with our noho Marae Te Herenga Waka o Orewa Marae so blessed to have been able to share this space together harvest from the mara rongoā and make our own rongoā balm.

Ngā mihi nu nui ki a koutou.
