Hiapo Heritage Layout Traditional pattern language reimagined for the web. More museum, less template. More cultural framing, less generic design furniture.
Museum Story

Framed like heritage, not just content blocks.

This concept gives Tāoga Niue a more explicit visual identity by using ornamental borders, barkcloth-style rhythm, soft earth tones, and layered card structures that feel closer to curated exhibition design.
