MEETING PLACE Aboriginal Design Recycled Mat, Brown & White
1.8 x 2.7m
SKU: GKOZ305B
Play mat? Caravan mat? Floor covering for your campground or beach picnic? If you’re looking for a colourful rug that’s hardwearing but also stylish, choose a contemporary Indigenous design mat from Recycled Mats.
The Meeting Place Aboriginal design recycled mat in earthy brown and white is all about people coming together to talk. It can be used as a reading mat, play mat, camping mat or anywhere you want to gather friends and family to share games, food or conversation. It's one of our many popular group time mats for schools and kindies as the design lends itself to helping children choose a symbol to sit on, facing the centre.
Made from 95% recycled materials, Meeting Place mats invite us to celebrate culture as well as conservation. The innovative recycled plastics used to create our mats makes them easy to clean, comfortable to sit on and UV treated to resist colour fading.
Dean Jakamara Briscoe is a respected Australian Indigenous artist from the Anmatyerre, Central Desert, region. He’s a professional artist and owner of Anmatyerre Arts and Crafts. In Meeting Place, he depicts people sitting around a central campfire, gathering to discuss the day’s business.
Conversations about ceremony, the landscape and home life traditionally took place around a campfire. Nowadays, a campfire might still serve as a warming, welcoming discussion site, or we may substitute the fireside with the kitchen table or back deck. Your Meeting Place reversible, recycled mat will be a handy addition to any of these spaces as a comfortable and long-lasting ground cover. Pair it with a matching cushion for added comfort and style, indoors or outdoors.
Every Aboriginal mat commissioned by Recycled Mats is developed in close consultation with communities and features images that are culturally-appropriate for sharing. Meeting Place can be used to invite discussion about many topics, including culture, family life and Indigenous symbols in art.
Meeting Place Aboriginal design recycled mats in deep brown and white provide cool or cosy ground cover for any occasion, from the classroom to the campsite.

By: Susan Hedley on 24 April 2017This mat is better than I expected. I am going to use it under the awning on my campervan. It is light weight and packs easily and neatly into its bag. The design is delightful. I have already had many friends comment on it.
