Bishop Museum Collaboration
In collaboration with Bishop Museum's Malacology Department, NOHO HOME created a three-piece set highlighting the tiny and fragile ecosystem of the endangered Hawaiian snail.
100% of the profits from the Bishop Museum Collaboration Pūpū Collection will be donated to the Bishop Museum to fund important scientific research and continue the education efforts surrounding our island home.
Pūpū Kani Oe Print
The Bishop Museum Collaboration Pūpū Kani Oe print was inspired by Carelia turricula. An extinct snail known for their distinctive pattern and large conical shells.
This Hawaiian snail species was once found abundantly on Kauaʻi and Niʻihau among the leaf litter and clinging to the barks of trees.
Pūpū Kuahiwi Print
As if nature had imprinted its own ʻohe kāpala pattern, the Pūpū Kuahiwi print showcases beautiful zigzag striations found on the the shells of the Hawaiian land snail genus, Laminella spp.
The Laminella spp remain one of the few critically imperiled snail genera left in Hawaiʻi. The Bishop Museum Collaboration honors this endangered species.
Kāhuli Print
Kāhuli, or Achatinella mustelina, is an endangered snail species unique to the Waiʻanae mountains of Oʻahu.
The Bishop Museum Collaboration honors these snails, with their distinct earth-colored spiral shells, play a crucial role in maintaining forest health by recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
