Tea mat design・Exploration of environmentally friendly new materials
Tea waste & Recycled paper
中文的“茶”一字，即是人在草木之间。
中国古人讲求“天人合一”，将自身置于自然之景、之物，来感受人与物、物与自然的交融。
The Chinese character for "tea" consists of a person in the middle，grass above and wood below.
Ancient Chinese people emphasized the "unity of nature and man" , and placed themselves in natural scenes and objects to feel the connection between man and objects and between objects and nature.
使用中国传统的古法造纸技艺，将茶叶渣与纸浆层层压制在一起。
得到的新材料浸润了茶叶的清香与干燥的纸张气息，可吸附异味、水渍，并完全环保可降解。
Using traditional Chinese papermaking techniques, the tea residues and pulp are pressed together layer by layer.
The obtained new material is infiltrated with the fragrance of tea leaves and the smell of dry paper, which can absorb odors and water stains, and is completely environmentally friendly and degradable.
