Stone Penguin | Kororā Sculpture
Handcrafted | Springstone, Resin, Reclaimed Metal & Wood
The little blue penguin - New Zealand’s smallest and most endearing seabird - captured in stone with irresistible charm.
Designed and crafted by Zimbabwean-born, New Zealand sculptor Jack Stobart along with his team, each Kororā is shaped from dark springstone - its deep, near-black tones perfectly evoking the penguin’s sleek back and cap. The bright white resin front creates a crisp contrast, capturing the bird’s distinctive tuxedo markings with quiet precision.
The flippers and beak are carved from dark wood, and the splayed recycled metal feet are full of personality. A genuinely handmade piece with a distinctly New Zealand soul - and a gift that will be kept for a lifetime.
