Matariki is the mother star of the cluster, her presence in the winter sky is a tohu of collective wellbeing, good fortune and the paths we shape,

Ko te whitinga o Matariki he tohu o te hokinga mai o ngā matua tuarangi ki a tatou, ehara i te timatanga o te tau hou noa.
Like Matariki, this Toki Poutangata holds what cannot be spoken - the breath of our ancestors and the responsibility to uphold the mana of our living culture.

The toki has always been more than a tool. As a Toki Poutangata, it embodies leadership and knowledge, and a question passed from one generation to the next: what have you shaped, and what have you left standing?

At Matariki, we look up to the stars in remembrance, and to the whenua to remain grounded - ‘Te Whitinga o Matariki’ resides in that space between. View the stories behind our Matariki Collection.

This collection will be on display at Mānawa Bay from Tuesday 23 June to Sunday 19 July, before moving to our Rotorua store from 20–29 July. Pieces may be purchased throughout the exhibition period and will be delivered once the exhibitions have concluded.
