Our hearts be still — but not our records. These turntables, crafted from salvaged materials, are the taonga of the future. Maker Hamish Campbell (Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga) draws on a background in mechanical engineering and product-development to design and hand-make these beautiful, functional objects. He names them individually, based on their whakapapa. Tahu (above), which repurposes a cracked marble slab from a kitchen bench and walnut sourced through a small mill in Matamata, references food and feasts, dancing and singing in a dining hall. His goal is for the turntables to be treasured as heirlooms with real mana, and handed down to tamariki.
