Olive Green & Off-White Madur Grass Table Mat

From Midnapore, in rural West Bengal, madur grass grows close to the water and is harvested by hand. Artisans weave it with olive-dyed cotton thread using techniques learned not in workshops but in the house they grew up in. The mat is the colour of the landscape it came from.

Woven from natural madur grass sourced from the wetlands of Midnapore, West Bengal, these mats pair olive green cotton thread with the near-natural off-white of the grass. Olive is a colour with depth, it reads differently at noon than at evening, differently against white plates than against wood.

Madur grass mats have a functional intelligence that takes time to notice: they sit perfectly flat, grip the table without a backing, and are cool to the touch even under a hot serving dish. This one, in olive and off-white, is for the table that wants to look effortless and has learned that effortless takes thought.
