Piiata Lights is a family affair colab with partners, Ngawaiata and Peter Baker. The couple produce these great light boxes with simple words in te reo maori (kupu maori). Ngawaiata has a background in fine arts and practices painting, Peter is a sculptor and when not on the golf course you can find him teaching Spatial Design at EIT.

Ngawaiata has always had a thing for words and has produced word based imagery for Workshop Denim and Nature Baby. The words are all hand cut and each box is lovingly constructed by Peter.

A message for Peter Baker, Hi Peter, I knew your family well when we were young. My parents were John and Joan Moxon and were good friends of your parents Graeme and Ray Baker. I sometimes come through Hawkes Bay and wondered if you and or Jane if she is nearby, might be open to a catch up for old times sake? No worries if not. Im semi retired now but visit Mohaka a bit. Best. David Moxon. My email is davidmoxon51@gmail.com, phone 021 274 4044
