In Le Kiwi Bird, Olivier Duhamel offers a contemporary, stylised homage to Aotearoa’s most emblematic creature. The sculpture distils the kiwi’s distinctive form into a smooth, rounded silhouette, its posture captured in a gentle forward lean as if foraging. The pared-back details and matte black finish give the piece both elegance and quiet strength, bridging natural realism and modern design.

Produced through high-resolution 3D printing, each form is printed hollow in resin and subsequently filled with epoxy, giving the sculpture unexpected substance and a pleasing, weighted presence in the hand. This combination of digital precision and artisanal finishing reflects Duhamel’s ongoing exploration of new technologies and materials while maintaining his signature sculptural sensibility.

Presented in multiple scales, Le Kiwi Bird celebrates the charm, mystery, and understated dignity of this nocturnal icon. Its clean lines and tactile surface make it an inviting object—one that resonates equally as a contemporary artwork and as a tribute to the wildlife of Aotearoa New Zealand.
