At Haumi we work at the thresholds: where history informs possibility, where form carries feeling, and where identity emerges from connection. We’re guided by the rhythms of the world around us and our responsibility for mana tuku iho.
Over time, humanity has become increasingly disconnected; from place, from each other, and from the patterns that once shaped us. Culture has become construct, identity has become transactional, and creativity is too frequently reduced to output over process.
Haumi offers a different proposition through connection, clarity of identity, and care for our craft.

A speaker's bench produces a narrative; An open horizon creates a vision
Whakamārama
The redesign recontextualises ambulances, uniting essential safety requirements with the values and design traditions of te ao Māori. Drawing on the knowledge of tohunga tārai waka and tohunga whakairo, Waka Manaaki reflects care for people, whānau, and wellbeing. More than a visual change, it symbolises the vital role Hato Hone plays in some of the most vulberable moments of people's lives.

Kei tukua koe kā rongo; Kei aro koe kā mārama; Kei tūhono koe kā oho
In stillness we sense; In presence we understand; In connection we are conscious
Waiata shapes more than stories – it shapes the way we move together, guided by rhythm, intention, and shared feeling. It binds us through sensation, not just thought, calling us into something greater than ourselves. Sound transcends language – carried as vibration, memory, and presence. Through waiata, we come into stillness, awareness, and connection. And in connection, we awaken – a collective raising of consciousness across the seen and unseen, known and remembered.

Te Wai Ngutu Kākā Gallery
Ko tā te ngutu kākā tangi, he whakaoho i te rangi me te whenua
The cry of the kākā beak hastens the awakening of the heavens and earth
Whakamārama
Te Wai Ngutu Kākā Gallery is named after an endemic shrub whose flower resembles the beak of the kākā. More than a plant, ngutu kākā is a tohu — a seasonal marker signalling wider ecological and celestial shifts. The name reflects the gallery’s location near puna wai (springs) and expresses a deeper connection to place, moving beyond colonial naming to honour the rhythms, memory, and relationships embedded in the natural and cultural landscape.
