Rooted – Macramé Wall Hanging with Tree of Life
Rooted. Growing. Self-contained.
The Tree of Life is one of humanity's oldest symbols. In Norse mythology, it holds the worlds together; in Celtic culture, it connects heaven, earth, and the underworld; in Buddhism, it stands for enlightenment. What all interpretations have in common is the tree as a symbol for what we often forget – that we must be deeply rooted before we can grow.
The Rooted brings this ancient symbol into your home. A hand-knotted macrame wall hanging made of pure cotton, with an intricately crafted Tree of Life in the upper ring. Below it hang three knotted cotton leaves and long fringes, giving the object movement and depth. 87 cm long, a true statement piece – yet subtle enough to fit into any interior.
Where to place the Rooted
- Above the bed: As a large, grounding object at the headboard. The Tree of Life above the sleeping area – a visual reminder of rootedness and peace.
- In the living room: Above the sofa, over a console, on an empty wall space. Makes large rooms feel warmer.
- In the entrance area: The first thing that greets you when you come home.
- In the yoga or meditation room: Creates a serene imagery that invites practice.
- In the study: A daily reminder of grounding when your thoughts become too loud.
Why Macrame
Macrame is a centuries-old knotting art – without needles, without machines, just with fingers. Every single knot is made by hand. The Rooted is created over many hours of patient work, and no two are exactly alike. Small differences in the shape of the leaves, the tension of the threads, or the fall of the fringes are part of handmade craftsmanship and make each piece unique.

Care
Dust can be removed with a soft brush or a hairdryer on a cool setting. For heavier soiling, carefully dab locally with a damp cloth – do not machine wash, as cotton can warp when wet and fringes can tangle. Direct sunlight for extended periods may slightly fade the natural color. Occasional shaking helps keep the fringes in shape.
Good to know
Each Rooted is unique. Small variations in the shape of the leaves, the length of the fringes, or the color tone of the cotton are characteristics of genuine handmade craftsmanship, not defects.
