Kauna Grass
India's distinctive wetland material

Kauna grass is one of India's most distinctive yet understated natural materials. Native to the wetlands of Manipur, it is historically intertwined with the Meitei craft tradition. It is highly prized in contemporary design for its extreme lightness, impeccable weave structure, and calm minimalist surface.
Kauna craftsmanship is a vital livelihood predominantly led by skilled women weavers. The seemingly effortless simplicity of a Kauna piece is the direct result of practised, rhythmic repetition honed over a lifetime.
