Mark Bagley, David Hakaraia (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Paoa), and Natasha Perkins (Te Whānau-ā-Apanui) speak directly to the work in Hononga (Connection).
Framed through a Te Ao Māori lens, the session introduces a series of designs across lighting, acoustics, and furniture, grounded in whakapapa and whanaungatanga.
The speakers will briefly unpack the ideas, materials, and decisions behind the work, showing how relationships between people, whenua, and environment are expressed through contemporary design practice.
