Māori Tukutuku Panel

Tukutuku are the woven lattice wall panels set between the carvings inside a Māori wharenui (meeting house). Built from vertical kākaho reeds and horizontal kaho laths painted red or black, their patterns are laced in bright pīngao sedge and bleached kiekie into poutama stairsteps, diamonds, and crosses.

This system renders that strict red / white / black craft logic in digital form — a deep red-ochre lath ground, bleached-white kiekie crosswork, soot-black voids, and a single pīngao sand-yellow accent, all locked to a rigid orthogonal grid with flat, matte, woven-reed surfaces.

Tukutuku（图库图库）是毛利人会堂（wharenui）内嵌在木雕之间的编织格栅墙板。它以竖向的 kākaho 芦苇与横向、漆成红色或黑色的 kaho 木条为骨架，再用鲜亮的 pīngao 莎草与漂白的 kiekie 藤蔓编织出 poutama 阶梯、菱形与十字纹样，象征攀登、学习与传承。

本设计系统将这套严格的红 / 白 / 黑工艺逻辑转译为数字语言——深红赭石的木条底场、漂白白色的 kiekie 交叉编织、煤烟黑的留白，以及唯一的 pīngao 沙黄点缀，全部锁定在刚直的正交网格之上，表面保持平整、哑光、如编织芦苇般的质感。
