Native New Zealand woods in custom trophies, awards, and corporate gifts

rimu wood

In a world where mass-produced items dominate, there’s something truly special about a handcrafted trophy, award, or corporate gift made from native New Zealand wood. These stunning pieces not only celebrate achievement but also reflect the beauty, heritage, and sustainability of Aotearoa’s natural resources.

At 122Nord we specialise in crafting bespoke trophies, rewards, corporate gifts, and souvenirs using premium native timbers. With advanced CNC machining and laser engraving, we transform raw wood into elegant, personalised pieces that leave a lasting impression.

Why choose native New Zealand wood?

New Zealand is home to some of the most beautiful and durable timbers in the world. Each species has its own unique grain, colour, and character, making every piece one-of-a-kind. Some of our most popular native woods include:

  • Kauri – A revered, richly grained timber with a golden hue, perfect for prestigious awards.
  • Rimu – A versatile reddish-brown wood, ideal for elegant corporate gifts.
  • Tōtara – Lightweight yet strong, with a warm tone, great for engraved plaques.
  • Pōhutukawa – Known for its striking grain, adding a touch of natural artistry.
  • Mataī – Durable and smooth, excellent for high-end trophies.

Using these sustainable and locally sourced materials ensures your gifts are not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious.
