The Creative Pathway

Te Ara Hihiko

We are a creative thinklab.

A whakairo shop.

A fusion of tradition & technology.

We specialise in large-scale Māori carving, working with those seeking authentic and impactful whakairo infused into surrounding architecture and public spaces. With a focus on collaboration, we partner with architects, designers, and organisations who share our passion for creating meaningful cultural experiences.
