Yin/Yang Placemat - Sesame

The Sesame placemat uses grey beads interspersed with white ones, creating a speckled appearance that reminds us of black and white sesame seeds. In TCM, sesame seeds are valued for their cooling properties, and they can support hair and skin health.

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.
