Alocasia Leaf Matt

A VELVETY SOFT QUILTED MAT IN THE SHAPE OF AN ALOCASIA LEAF. PERFECT AS A BABY PLAY MAT OR BASE FOR A COZY READING NOOK. SIZE: 100 X 65 CM _A UNIQUE PROTO PIECE | MADE IN FINLAND_ MATERIAL This velvety leaf mat is made with a variety of organic cotton velour scraps and secondhand macramee rope. The back side is made with a silky secondhand fabric and the batting was a secondhand baby duvet. The organic cotton velour scraps are pre-consumer production waste from Finnish sustainable fashion brand MORICO [https://morico.fi/]. TECHNIQUE The alocasia leaf mat top was assembled from 10 large curved velour pieces. The seam lines were then covered with the secondhand macrame rope to accentuate the bold lines found in alocasia leaves. Then the batting and back fabric were added to the mat and finally everything was quilted, again following the lines in the leaf to create the same pattern on the back and secure the duvet/batting on the inside. STYLING This leaf mat is a perfect baby play mat that can stay out in any room as a stunning eye-catcher. It can also be used for pets, as a soft piece of wall art or as the base of a cozy reading nook. It pairs well with our shell pillows and pebbles side table. MORICO X WASTELESS WONDERS Wasteless Wonders [https://www.wastelesswonders.com/] is a sustainable home textiles brand, designing and producing handmade goods for your living spaces exclusively from waste materials. These products are created with some of MORICO pre-consumer scraps - cut-offs in the production process of clothes and accessories. The high quality organic cottons, viscose and other fabrics are too precious to waste, so we gave some of the small and weird pieces to Valentina at Wasteless Wonders to create a small collection of unique products with them.
