So, first a little backstory. If you're looking for a placemat that just serves as placemat, or a splat mat that just serves as a splat mat, then you're in the wrong place. When designing the product line, flexibility and multi-functionality were at the core of the development.
Being able to pack a mat away, or into your handbag or suitcase means that it's not in the way between use cases. No need to take on the emotional labour of selling it on when your kid reaches the end of a particular stage, because it will come in handy at all ages and stages!
For parents like us who are seeking a robust, adaptable, environmentally friendly mat that can be used in a variety of ways, Studio Huske mats are the perfect option! They're a great investment for families that are constantly on the go because they are composed of high-quality materials and can be used indoors and outdoors. So, let's get into it:
There's a considered art form in making them as simple as possible, so that they can serve you for as long as possible.
