Great work always comes back to collaboration.
This project began through working closely with Chantel Matthews on her vision for the Kurutai Collective booth at the . A bold space designed to draw people in, and experience the works up close.
Our role was to take that idea and together bring it into form. We designed and built custom rendered plinths, shaped through scale and proportion.
Careful consideration was given to how people move through a space while embracing the precious uku works.
And the final layer, getting the terracotta tone, just right.
Every great project is a result of working together, of collaboration, respect and understanding; between the idea and the making, and between design and craftsmanship.
Not typical of Ambitec’s usual role in a project, however one we thoroughly enjoyed.
