43 × 43 × 1.3 in
Moena honors the woven mat at the center of Hawaiian life, plaited from lau hala, the leaves of the hala tree. Its weave is recovered koa, dark and light with white sapwood, given depth by airbrushed shading. The pattern runs unbroken across the face and over the edges. Lifted from the floor to the wall, a thing made for everyday use is given the regard its simple, essential service has always earned.
