Matariki - Kapokapowai | Dragonfly design

The Brief:

Christchurch City Council requested concepts for engaging, interesting, collaborative, locally crafted installations for Tirama Mai - a lighting festival in the Christchurch Central City.

The Solution:

We really wanted an installation that appealed to both kids and adults - and in particular one for the dads / the mechanically inclined!

Combining old car parts with the sleek finish of laser-etched perspex was a challenge (but a super-satisfying one) as we overheard families commenting on the work as they walked the Tirama Mai trail.
