NEW YORK

NEW ZEALAND

Celebrating 10 Years Lucy Tupu Studio

I’m so proud of how our little studio, which began in downtown New York and has grown into something beyond what I could have imagined.

 

The past 3.5 years in New Zealand were incredibly transformative. I was able to reconnect with my heritage, establish the studio in NZ, and taking on a teaching role that gave me the chance to inspire others through design.

​

Since 2015, we’ve launched 17 rug collections, introduced a blanket line, SULU, developed the Flax furniture. Along the way, we’ve collaborated on over a hundred projects, participated in art shows and exhibitions, and worked with amazing designers and artists who continue to inspire me. 

​

Now, balancing my time between New Zealand and New York, I’m excited for new projects in both places I call home.

 

I’m looking forward to whatever comes next with more color, texture, and stories to bring to life.
