Description
Made from carefully selected Pandanus leaves or from the Hala Tree leaves, our
Lauhala matting is created through a long process of leaf preparation by artisans
who use this work as their livelihood. The detailed weaving process is highly
labor intensive and comes only after a long preparation of the leaves that includes
drying them in the sun, removing the thorns, cleaning the leaves one by one in
the ocean, then softening and flattening them.
Our diamond checkered patterned matting is prepared into sheets sized 3ft by
6 ft which you can use for a variety of indoor and outdoor projects by affixing
it with either glue or staples. The remote area that provides the leaves for
this product has an endless supply of the raw materials. The matting was originally
conceived of as a sleeping mat in the Philippines which kept the demand high
and the artisan craft-work evolving over the decades.
Easily applied our matting will work in a variety of places, indoors and out,
and will render an earth friendly feel to anywhere you place it.
