Mangopare Mat 1.8X2.7M

The ‘Mangopare’ recycled plastic mat in bold red, black & white is a perfect display of Maori culture

This recycled plastic picnic mat features the ‘Mangopare’ design, a traditional Maori symbol of strength and courage. New Zealand artist Turumakina Duley came up with this modern take on a traditional Mangopare design. It is his interpretation of an ancient symbol, variously interpreted as a lovers’ embrace, and a symbol of everlasting friendship. It’s a design found on greenstone, and in tribal carvings.

Like all our outdoor mats, the unique NZ designed recycled mat can be used in so many settings; For brightening up your home, camping, playing, a trip to the beach, picnicking, or perhaps some interesting wall art! Our ‘Mangopare’ mat is a popular design for anywhere celebrating culture and community.

Made from recycled plastics, these mats are light, naturally waterproof, easy to clean, and easy to care for. You’ll never spend hours picking the grass off your picnic mat or vacuuming your car boot again. They are both soft & comfortable to sit or walk on, but also extremely hardwearing. As with most of our recycled plastic mats, this design is reversible. Not only does it extend the longevity of the mat, it effectively means two slightly different designs!

If these tones aren’t your thing, but you love this Maori design, we also have ‘Mangopare’ in a Black & Green colour. 

Pair with one of our unique picnic tables for the ultimate outdoor setup or perhaps one or two of our sand-free, super absorbent towels (also made from recycled material) for a day at the beach. We are constantly adding to our range of sustainable homeware products, so you’ll never be stuck for gift ideas or ways to make your outdoor/indoor space a bit more personal.
