Paererewā is a place to sit and reflect, marked by a bench, called a Pae, that is designed to last 1,000 years. The Waiheke Island listing is for one of these benches. The charitable trust behind the work aims to create 1,000 such places across Aotearoa New Zealand, and its guiding lines are "in stillness we sense, in presence we understand, in connection we are conscious". The trust was started with a donation from STILL, the company of Hideaki Fukutake, and each bench is funded separately through partnerships with donors and communities. An independent curatorial board chaired by Heather Harris approves the sites and the designers. The Blenheim Pae, designed by Hatch Workshop, is one example the trust names. The trust encourages people to suggest places for a bench or help fund one, and it says that design is part of the process rather than something added at the end.
