Story

Working across lighting and objects, she creates spatial adornments that bring together old-world charm and sentimentality through a distinctly modern lens.

An ongoing curiosity towards materials, traditional craftsmanship and the peculiarities of everyday life informs the studio's work, with a little candid humour and playfulness thrown in.

The name Frangere, Latin for ‘to break’, grew from an early fascination with stained glass and the poetic resonance of transforming broken pieces into something new. Beyond the material itself, it speaks to the charms and pitfalls of life, embracing moments of change and the possibility of seeing the world anew.

Based in Auckland, New Zealand, each piece is made on a small scale, with the help of local makers and specialist manufacturers.
