Graeme Offord is kiwi born art director living in NYC. He has dug up some old uni work and made limited edition prints. This alphabet is off the chain epic.
Walter Hansens latest screen print is a band poster for their final tour. In this case its 1921, the last year there was a sighting of the Huia, an extinct New Zealand bird.
Influenced by making models as a kid and Tui's (a native bird) NZ designer Walter Hansen just released his Kowhai Squadron series. This print is on ply wood.
New Zealand engineer Shayne Irving developed this wooden kiwi toy in his after hours. It's made from untreated locally grown wood & non-toxic child safe paints. The wheels are offset so it wobbles along like a real kiwi.
I wish there were more puzzles. Artist Penny Stotter has made her prints into puzzles. Cool big pieces. Surprised no one has made a puzzle of the worlds countries... I bags to do it first.
In case anyone was over black and white stencils, thought I'd share this with the notcot family. My favorite artist Flox a.k.a Hayley King keeps it real.
The Department of Doing has canned some of their inspiration, a humorous way to pick up your design buddies on an ideas low. No better place for this than notcot
Rachel Young from New Zealand is proving not all perspex design products need to be laser cut. She uses her origami secrets and skill and hand cuts and folds each of her bowls and lights. Her work goes under the brand name "Fold".
nuzilla - a "new" New Zealand product design company have launched their sliceform kiwi's and moa's on endemicworld.com. I love laser-cut construction like this, my favourite is their life size Moa (large extinct bird)
