Nīkau is the only indigenous palm tree in New Zealand
(named by NZ Māori) and is greatly admired for its
strength and beauty. The fronds from the palm were
traditionally used for thatching and weaving. The design
came after David took a walk into a secluded section of New
Zealand bush. David sought to create a light that was solid
at each end, but grew into an open bulbous section; just like
the form of a Nīkau palm. Nīkau could be a great light for the
corner of a room, a foyer space, or a stairwell. In 2015, Nīkau
won a Red Dot Design Award for lighting design.
