Kaiao translates to the time before the sun peeks above the horizon, skies are lit with morning colors, air crisp, and the day is new. It was at this time of dawn that Edith Kenao Kanakaʻole, Kuhaʻo’s grandmother, wrote her best compositions. As an extraordinary Hawaiian steeped in the practices of Hula, she was aware of her own creative processes, as well as the strokes of geniuses that seem to be floating in the morning sky, searching for that able vehicle.
This favorite time of morning has always inspired the Sig Zane Kaiao Designs Studio to identify and refine our pursuit for creativity, as well as to provide the space for other creatives to do the same.
