NOMAD
5 Point Chevalier Road, Point Chevalier, Auckland| 09-815 9595
Conceptually, Nomad is a celebration of New Zealand’s heterogeneous and multicultural composition, which in turn prompted the name Nomad. All of us are, in one way or another, nomadic. The idea signifies the coming together of different peoples, sharing of information, skills, crafts and ideas. Within this, food, and the experience of sharing food with others, is a cultural constant – this is the vehicle or medium with which we are endeavouring to express the culmination of ideas and experiences of our individual travels. This is Nomad.
The head of a bison is used as Nomad’s logo, as it symbolises the significance of the animal to nomadic people. This grand animal was fundamental and crucial for the very existence of nomads. The bison provided the primary form of transport to a people who were transient by nature.
