      BLUNT x Graham Tipene

      Metro

       

      Metro is the go-to umbrella for days where you're not sure what's on the horizon.

      It conveniently fits in your handbag, tote, or backpack so you're always prepared, whatever the weather.

      An auto-open button pops open the canopy for instant coverage at your fingertips.

      Built with unique 360° spinning technology, the Metro's canopy is designed to elegantly handle knocks when navigating narrow spaces.

       

      Graham Tipene, A renowned Tā Moko artist and cultural advisor from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Graham’s work is deeply grounded in the traditions and values of mana whenua, honouring whakapapa, identity and cultural continuity.

      This BLUNT is inspired by Kawakawa Pounamu, a treasured variety of Aotearoa New Zealand greenstone known for its rich, deep green tone which resembles the leaves of the native kawakawa plant. Pounamu is held in the highest regard, the same way Te Reo Māori is deserving of protection, respect and active use.

      The inspiration also carries personal significance. Kawakawa, a small town in Northland was where Graham’s father was raised among his Ngāti Hine people. A native speaker, he lived through the 1950s and 60s, a time where people were discouraged from speaking Māori.

      This collaboration acknowledges that history and honours the strength of those who safeguarded the language through challenging times. In time for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, this kaupapa extends well beyond one week of recognition. It is about honouring Te Reo Māori every day, keeping the beautiful language visible, spoken and alive for generations to come.
