Yin/Yang Placemat Set - Mulberry

The Mulberry placemat set includes one circle and one square mat. Both are composed of three sizes of round black beads, creating a nubbly visual surface evoking dark, ripe fruit. Sweet and juicy mulberries have a cooling effect in Chinese medicine, and can help combat fatigue.

The Yin/Yang series is made from beads resembling Chinese medicinal grains and fruit and is also inspired by the beaded seat covers seen in many Southeast Asian taxicabs. Wooden beads are woven with nylon elastic yarn, resulting in a tactile, sensorial and practical piece. Perfect for resting hot mugs or bowls on or as a decorative element on the table.
