Description

Inspired by the question, ‘How can we use sedge mats more effectively?

From the past, sedge mat can only be utilized as a place to sit and eat. However we have changed those perceptions by improving color and design, manufacturing quality, type of material. Now sedge mats can be proudly provided to the younger generation and other folks.

 

Hand-woven mats in various patterns and techniques are created in the more interesting way by applying around the Plaswood block, then putting them together to reflect the interconnection. The final result of this mat introduces new demands and fresh views to a market that was previously far from the ‘sedge mat’ that we are familiar to.

 

Sedge mats have a long history..

The purpose of weaving mats is to use them in the home. They weave mats for bedding or to use as a mattress in their homes. Is there a house without a mat? The members of the family were viewed as being sluggish. When young individuals get married, they create new families or move into new places on their own. Woven mats will be prepared by the women to be used in the home. It is also woven as a gift for the temple in Thailand. to provide spiritual sustenance for believers over the various festival seasons

Also, the primary source of income for the local Thai population is agriculture, however, some areas were designated for the cultivation of sedge. Where rice is scarce, sedge is plentiful. Sedge can be grown in the leftover space in any rice-growing house. Therefore they can weave into mats to earn extra money.

It is more than a mat..

Sedge mats can be used in a variety of ways, including as a sleeping mat, a living room flooring alternative to carpet, a way to pave the chapel’s slopes, or even as a placemat for a meal with family or friends.
