TĀNE MAHUTA - GUARDIAN OF THE FOREST
Tōtara — The Tree That Stands for Generations
Deep within the ancient forests of Aotearoa stands Tōtara, a mighty rākau representing strength, endurance and the wisdom of our tūpuna.
For generations, Tōtara has provided timber for waka, whare and whakairo, connecting our people to the whenua and the living world of Tāne Mahuta.
The Māori House Design Tōtara Kaitiaki Kettle brings this ancestral connection into the modern home through illuminated forest artwork, original Māori-inspired whakairo and a design celebrating the relationship between people, nature and whakapapa.
More than a kettle — a living story of strength, whakapapa and kaitiakitanga, carried from one generation to the next.
Tāne Mahuta, guardian of the forests and all living things within them, stands as a symbol of life, growth and the sacred connection between Ranginui and Papatūānuku.
Inspired by the majestic forests of Aotearoa, the Māori House Design Tāne Mahuta Kettle Collection brings the beauty of our native rākau into the modern home. Through original Māori whakairo, natural timber-inspired finishes and illuminated designs, each kettle carries a story of whakapapa, guardianship and our responsibility to protect Te Taiao for future generations.
