Gewinner des Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2018, geehrt bei der Preisverleihung in Singapur
Kūkū
Kūkū revives the fangufangu, an ancient Tongan musical instrument that emulates the coos of the Tongan dove. Developed through an indigenised framework, it features a Pacific Kauri body, an adjustable nose cap, and a tuning dial. Kūkū enhances playability and versatility, harmoniously weaving tangible, visual, and sonic aesthetics, and bridging notions of past, present and future for diverse musical environments.
