Timaru based designer Gus Leen is hugely influenced by the texture, form and movement found in Nature. He draws on these three elements to inform his designs.
Ponga is the Māori term for the native New Zealand tree fern, more commonly known as 'Punga'. The Ponga floor light is inspired by the cylindrical trunk of a Ponga tree. Overtime, these trunks tend to hollow out if the tree has sustained partial damage allowing bacteria into the trunk causing a cavity to form.
The Ponga table light consists of slats of sustainably grown bamboo plywood, illuminated by a unique five watt LED array. The external faces of the bamboo brackets are either finished natural or in black enamel paint. Gus chose the paint specifically for durability and consistency of finish.
The Ponga sits elegantly in an intimate interior setting. Subtle shadows are cast onto the supporting surface and surrounding walls.
Material plywood (sustainably grown bamboo); natural finish; optional - black enamel paint (external edges); 5-watt LED array
