We believe in things you can hold.
Things with soul, with weight, with story.
Ideas that grow through care — not speed.
Naked & Curious is a place for creative beginnings.
For ventures built on belief, craft, and the long view.
We are kaitiaki —
not just of land,
but of memory, culture, craft, and each other.
We listen.
We iterate.
We choose meaning over momentum.
We work with those who value sustainability, expression,
and design that lives beyond the scroll.
Our constellation is small. It will stay that way. For now.
• Daedalic Lightworks — storied objects where humans and spaces meet
• SYML — fire, food, friends
• One More Dance — a conversation series about late-career pivots, creative transformation, and the quiet art of getting your groove back
• Ullan — resuscitating a forgotten Swedish centurion — and returning her to the people who built her
• The Matukituki Tangle — an international gathering of creative courage and cooperative ambition
We’ll keep making.
Slowly.
Curiously.
Together.
