Cook Islands Tivaivai

Tivaivai is the Cook Islands appliqué quilt tradition — a slow, collective art form made by vainetini women's groups across Rarotonga, Aitutaki, and Mangaia. Each quilt takes months or years to complete, presented only at weddings, funerals, and church openings. This design system captures the paired-contrast logic of tivaivai: rose-pink motifs on linen-white ground, emerald accents, and the soft radial symmetry of cut-paper frangipani and hibiscus silhouettes. Every surface feels like Sunday morning in a Rarotongan church courtyard.

蒂瓦伊瓦伊是库克群岛的贴布绗缝传统——由拉罗汤加、艾图塔基和曼盖亚的妇女团体（vainetini）集体缝制，每条被子耗时数月甚至一年，只在婚礼、葬礼和教堂落成时展出。 本设计体系提取了蒂瓦伊瓦伊的配色逻辑：亚麻白底上的玫瑰粉与翡翠绿对比，辅以毛毯针迹轮廓和四折/八折径向对称的花卉剪影，营造出温暖、手工、庄重而不沉闷的视觉氛围。
