To commemorate the first Mānuka Honey harvest from a regenerated NZ forest, we created a limited edition multi-sensory table sculpture to connect people to the land and its story. The brass sculpture depicts the topography of the land, guarded by majestic mountains and holds ceramic pots forged from its clay.
Enhancing the multi sensory experience, Makino First Harvest comes with a bespoke sound journey curated by legendary composer Peter Hobbs. Capturing the music of Makino – from indigenous bird song to the buzzing of the bees – he has used 3D binaural sound to create 50 individually blended recordings accessibly exclusively to it’s owner through digital innovation layering.
We not only designed and produced the sculpture but created packaging, print material, film, photography, website, music and animation to help tell the story.
