Kakero LIB14 Rug

Hand-knotted and designed by a skilled artisan from rural India, each element of Jaipur's Kakero design carries a story. The vibrant flower motif is a tribute to the artist’s cherished memory of a wedding gift—a flower pot given by a dear friend. Though they now live in different villages, the memory of that friendship lingers, beautifully woven into the rug. The wavy, hazy patterns, known as 'leheriya,' are inspired by the fluid movements of the weavers’ hands when they are deeply in sync with the rhythm of their work. This design, reminiscent of the ocean's waves, mirrors the meditative state of the artisans as they weave, drawing on the traditional patterns of Rajasthan. Even the uneven textures and motifs, inspired by the rugged mountains, the texture of leopard skin, and the leaves that surround the artisans' villages, add character to this unique piece. The Kakero design isn’t just a rug; it’s a tapestry of stories and traditions, woven with care and dedication.
