KOLARA by IBHI is a minimalist decorative hanging inspired by the geometry and symbolism of traditional South Indian kolam patterns, reinterpreted through natural materials and contemporary design.
Crafted as a lightweight vertical hanging, Kolara combines rattan cane discs, sacred kalawa / nadachadi (moli) threads, and kodi (cowrie shells) to create a harmonious balance between texture, tradition, and modern aesthetics.
The striking red kalawa thread becomes the visual anchor of the piece, beautifully contrasted by muted earthy tones of copper accents and natural rattan textures. Designed for versatile styling, KOLARA can be hung on either side of doorways, used as tree décor, or styled along stair railings to create layered visual interest.
Lightweight and easy to handle, it brings subtle cultural storytelling into contemporary homes across the world.
