The suspended Tanoa Bowl is the centerpiece of Auckland War Memorial Museum’s Te Ao Mārama, South Atrium. The distinctive geometric design, which represents the star maps used by Pacific cultures in navigation, was created with a stretchmasters custom aluminium frame and 108 panels of Barrisol Lation Gold membrane. The backlit panels provide a warm glow which complement the timber throughout the Atrium. The Barrisol A20 acoustic perforation maintains acoustic integrity for the audio-visual experience beneath the Tanoa.
