Te Puna Country Kitchen - iO Lighting banner

A look inside a rural Te Puna kitchen renovation. The owners of this rural home wanted a warm, cosy yet contemporary feel to their living space. Feature lighting was a must for them over their kitchen benchtop and they chose Maker Design Studio's iO2 Rectangle to really set off their kitchen/ living space. They chose the 1565mm long size to go with the length of their benchtop. 

"We are absolutely delighted with our iO2 rectangle. Everyone who comes to our place comments on it. It really made our kitchen," Karen Clarke. 

The iO²  Pendant Lights are the squared development of the original iO lighting range. All of iO’s beauty remains, with a different effect and feel. The iO²  Pendant Lights have become sought after over dining room tables, kitchen workbenches and bar tops. 

The interlocking sections of the iO²  Pendant Lights allow almost limitless size variations. There are six standard sizes that will suit an array of situations. Our iO2 lights are made in our rural workshop in Tauranga using premium NZ plywood from South Island forests. iO is a thoroughly sustainable product that will bring lasting beauty to a home or commercial setting.
