TARO LEAF SILVER #141850
$450.00 - $8,100.00
In Hawaii, the oldest sibling in the family tree isn’t a person. It’s a plant. Taro, or kalo, is revered as the elder brother of humankind. It embodies the origin, the physical sustenance, and the spiritual genealogy of the island people.
Its leaves are broad and heart-shaped, and they catch mountain rainfall to nourish families across generations. They are a reminder of deep roots, family unity, and sacred respect for the earth, the ʻāina.
Hawaiian artists designed the Taro Leaf rug to honor this life-giver and the heritage that grew up around it. They brought the serenity of the island taro fields, the loʻi kalo, into your home. The rug grounds your space in ancestral strength and a close sense of family, like a big brother who always has your back.
Every rug in this collection begins with a single knot. Then comes the next, and the next, until a banana leaf unfurls or a heliconia blooms across the floor. A single 9x12-foot Hawaiian rug can take more than 3,000 hours to finish.
Local artists draw the designs. Master weavers bring them to life using century-old techniques passed down through generations. Inspired by the islands’ tropical landscapes and cultural motifs, the patterns feature taro and monstera leaves, anthurium, plumeria, bamboo and ferns, koi, sea turtles, and coral, along with motifs drawn from Hawaiian petroglyphs. Colors range from bold tropical shades to soft, muted neutrals.
Up close, you can see the difference in the fine detail. Underfoot, you can feel it in the texture of the pile. Place one in a living room, a beach house, or a corner of your home, and with proper care, it can remain a cherished piece for years to come. Because every knot is tied by hand, subtle variations make each rug unique.
