The best conversations happen when you make time for them. Inside Stories is a podcast series featuring the designers, makers and artists shaping creative life in Aotearoa — a window into the thinking, values and practice behind the work they do.

EPISODE 1:
WHAKAAWA & JOSH TE KANI
NOA BLANKET CO
Inside Stories is live. Episode one features Whakaawa and Joshua Te Kani, the creative couple behind @noablanketco, reviving the tradition of the wool blanket as a taonga/treasure in Aotearoa. I took them for a drive, and what struck me most was how completely te ao Māori values shape every decision they make. This isn’t a brand with a philosophy attached. The kaupapa is the foundation.
