We are not just for the home! Inkah has combined the naturally unique beauty of Rattan, creating affordable, environmentally sustainable and long-lasting equipment and furnishings for Early Childhood environments in New Zealand.
Who is Inkah?
Inkah was created right here in New Zealand, from Hayley’s passion to create a comfortable and happy space for her young daughter, Arlo, to express herself in imaginative and mindful ways. She chose Rattan, an organic species of Palm, as her creative platform for its long-lasting, hardwearing qualities, combined with its authentic, timeless character. A perfect natural resource for children to explore, learn and grow with.
Our Ethos
Creative Director and Founder of Inkah, Hayley Crossman lives by the ethos that by infusing elements of nature into a child’s surroundings and playtime it wholeheartedly encourages them to independently explore and understand the natural world around them. It supports them in developing a sense of respect and responsibility for the environment and the world that they are a unique part of.
