The maker

About the

Theo Arden
Artist & designer · Ōtautahi Christchurch

Theo Arden is an artist and designer whose work explores texture, form and the possibilities of three-dimensional media.

A keen hiker, Theo has spent years exploring the mountains, valleys and tracks of New Zealand’s South Island. Tūranga Topo began almost by accident when he turned a section of a topographic map from a particularly meaningful place into a 3D-printed relief as a gift for his girlfriend.

The piece captured the landscape in a way a photograph or map couldn’t quite do. After friends began asking for pieces of places that mattered to them, Theo started refining the process—experimenting with terrain, scale, materials and presentation.

That project eventually became Tūranga Topo, creating sculptural representations of the landscapes and places we carry with us.

Today, each piece is still made in Theo’s home studio in Ōtautahi Christchurch, then individually hand-finished and assembled with care.

The name

A name for
place.

Tūranga Topo brings together a sense of where we stand with the contours of the land around us.

Tūranga speaks to place, position and standing.

Topo is a shortened reference to topography—the shape, lines and elevations that make each landscape distinct.

Together, the name reflects what each piece is made to hold: a particular place, seen closely and given form.
