Kahurangi Studios is a cross-disciplinary studio exploring the intersection of arts and engineering. We discover potential in salvaged and sustainably sourced materials to create treasures imbued with stories of their own.

Founded by Hamish Campbell (Ngāti Raukawa Te Au ki te Tonga), a mechanical engineer with a keen eye for design, Kahurangi Studios reflects a commitment to merging innovation with tradition. Hamish brings experience in product development across industries such as medical devices, consumer electronics, and tapware. He weaves this technical expertise with his Māori identity to navigate the Kahurangi waka.

Every handcrafted piece is one of a kind, telling a story, one of transformation, care, and respect for the materials we work with. From sourcing to design, prototyping and the final build, our process celebrates whakapapa (genealogy) - the material story.

We view our products as the offspring of the materials we work with, each carrying its own whakapapa. By honouring the origins and histories of these materials, we elevate their mana and breathe new life into them.

We manaaki our product and materials at each production step, resulting in pieces that embody sustainability, artistry, and a deep respect for both the past and the future.
