Kaiolohia Lanai Ceramic Art Tile

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

On the northeast coast of Lanai, one of the eight main Hawaiian Islands. The beach stretches roughly eight miles from Polihua at the north end down to Lopa, fronting the Kalohi Channel that separates Lanai from Molokai. It is part of Maui County.

For the YOGN-42, a Second World War concrete-hulled Navy refueling barge that was abandoned on the offshore reef in the late 1940s and has remained grounded there ever since. The hull is reinforced concrete, which is why so much of it still stands.

No. The Kalohi Channel funnels strong trade-wind currents along this coast, and the same current that put the YOGN-42 on the reef makes the water dangerous. There are no lifeguards and no facilities. The beach is for walking and beachcombing, not bathing.

From Lanai City, take Keomoku Road, an unsealed track that requires four-wheel-drive in dry weather and is impassable when wet. Lanai itself is reached by passenger ferry from Lahaina on Maui or by a short flight from Honolulu to Lanai Airport.

Yes, at Kukui Point, a short walk inland from the beach. The carvings are pecked into basalt boulders above the strand line. They belong to the wider tradition of pre-contact Hawaiian rock art on Lanai, of which the Luahiwa petroglyphs further inland are the largest concentration.

About 98 percent of Lanai is owned by Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, who acquired the island in 2012. The land is managed through Pulama Lanai, which maintains the roads and infrastructure. The shoreline itself, by Hawaii law, remains public below the high-water mark.

The dry months from roughly April through October are when Keomoku Road is most reliably passable. The trade winds blow most days of the year, so the beach is rarely still. Mornings are clearest; afternoons can bring haze across the channel toward Molokai.

It has been a meaningful gift for visitors who have made the drive down Keomoku Road and walked the empty windward coast. Lanai stays with people, and the YOGN-42 is a memory most visitors carry home. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio carries well.

Coastal-modern interiors with natural-fibre rugs and weathered wood; Hawaiian-traditional rooms with lauhala and koa accents; quiet maximalist palettes built around blue, rust, and bleached driftwood. The piece reads as ocean art without the predictability of a wave or a surfboard.

It is. Coastal-modern has moved away from generic seascape towards specific places, weathered objects, and a more muted blue palette. The rusted concrete hull and the trade-wind sky place this firmly in that conversation. The piece works in a Pacific-coastal room without resorting to literal beach motifs.

A single Large reads cleanly above a console table or a slim credenza. Above a standard sofa, a 4-tile Mural carries the long horizontal of the beach properly. For a longer wall or a great room, a 9-tile Mural gives the wreck and the channel their full scale.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for vertical installation in showers, kitchens, and powder rooms. The Glossy finish is reserved for framed wall pieces in dry rooms.

Microfibre cloth and warm water. No abrasive pads, no ammonia, no harsh cleaners. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so it does not fade with cleaning and does not need polishing.

Yes. Every WenderVista tile is original to the studio. The eye is Reid Wender's, the finishing is in-house at Wender Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee, and no part of the work is licensed from outside artists.
