Ironman

When I used to live in Italy. Some fancy shops selling designer made things like furniture and lightings used to sell this Ironmans. I assumed that some European designer designed it. Even in NZ when I went to shopping malls I saw shops selling these. I thought they were imported from Europe. But you see this is a NZ designer's work! Although I was not born in NZ, I felt so proud.

Miniature stairs

It was made by a New Zealand architecturer. Just look at the amazing detail of the structure.

Lollies!

This is a very charming idea to glue lollies LOL and jellies to a transparent glass and form the back, using fluorescent lights.

Maori Meeting house

Amazingly detailed and well built! I wonder if these houses were used for religious reasons like ceremonies. Or just a place where people gather to discuss problems and plans to keep their towns.

European Settlement and Maori

Early settlement of English also influenced Maori's life style. By the looks of it, they started dress like Westerns and lived in Western style houses.

Kiwi Wrist Warmer

This rare wrist warmer is a total luxury. It was made of Kiwi feather!!!! The Kiwis are now in near extinction but maybe it was still legal to make kill the kiwis? I was very surprised when I read the explanation.

Maori Weapon

Someone once told me that Maoris were great warriors. The strongest amongst the Polynesian Islands. This very effective and strong looking weapon surely made the army strong. The white blade looking part was probably made of animal's bone or whale's tooth.
