From Amsterdam to Auckland and Sydney
Edwin’s father, Nicolaas Rysenbry, emigrated from Amsterdam to Auckland, New Zealand in 1952 to start a small textile shop.
Growing up around fabric, Edwin joined forces with his brother Michael and Dad and together they created a successful textile company, Mokum Textiles. They ran this for 28 years.1
Fast forward to 2010. We moved our base to Sydney, Australia and became Sparkk. Responding to the growing impact of textile waste on the planet’s resources, we decided to become a digitally-led business.
By printing-on-demand, we’re nearly waste-free. A fact we’re incredibly proud of.

Back in Auckland
So here we are now. Back in Auckland, New Zealand, with Edwin’s son, Christian, at the helm. An innovative, design-obsessed, sustainable textile and wallcovering company. Living our island life, working with creatives around the world and making great products.
