Pacifica Patterns

Come and experience our newest display – a celebration of the Pacific design influence on Crown Lynn!  

Open from February 2025, this display showcases the role Pacific peoples played in the creation of our beloved Crown Lynn ceramics, exploring the influence these communities had on the objects Crown Lynn produced.  

Cups decorated with motifs reminiscent of Sāmoan siapo, Fijian masi, Tongan ngatu, and Māori tapa illustrate how Pacific motifs became a part of Crown Lynn’s story. These pieces serve as evidence of Aotearoa’s changing cultural landscape to one which recognised our identity as a diverse Pacific nation.
