TURTLE DRIFT CHARCOAL (Multi L#138680)

Smaller Than a Postcard

It began as a painting small enough to hold in one hand. Celebrated Hawaii-based artist Jane Aquino painted it in watercolor on a 4x6-inch sheet: sea turtles floating without effort through gentle ocean water. Soft brushstrokes, no hurry anywhere.

The honu is a sacred guardian in Hawaiian life, a symbol of wisdom and protection. It also shows how to travel through changing waters with ease: drift, don’t fight.

This rug bridges fine contemporary art and traditional textile craft. The makers wanted that fluid marine calm underfoot, so they scaled her small painting up to fill a floor. Lay it down, and the room takes on the same slow drift.

Hand-Knotted Hawaiian Rugs®: Island Art, One Knot at a Time

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.

A Work of Art for your home.

The Indich Collection Turtle Drift Rug bridges the worlds of fine contemporary art and traditional textile craftsmanship.

Designed by celebrated local artist Jane Aquino, the design for this rug began as a 4" x 6" watercolor painting. To bring her fluid, ocean inspired vision to life, master artisans in India meticulously translated the delicate nuances of her watercolor brushstrokes into a textile format, adapting the original artwork directly to the warp and weft.

Each rug is expertly hand-knotted using premium materials, featuring a luxurious wool pile woven over a durable cotton warp and weft. The result is a tactile masterpiece that brings the serene movement of the sea into your living space.
