RECYCLED Plastic Outdoor Rug | ZEALAND Design in Black & White

Aroha is a Maori word for love. This beautiful New Zealand design recycled plastic mat in stylish black and white depicts the special love within a family. Artist Milton Tupaea has used the koru (the unfurling silver fern leaf which is an integral symbol within New Zealand art) to create an image of peace and unity. Three koru wrapped around each other can be seen as two parents and a child embracing and celebrating their bond.

Tupaea is from the Maniapoto iwi (tribe) on New Zealands north island and draws on his heritage and the symbols of nature in that part of the world to create meaningful, stylistic artworks.

Like all the durable, comfortable floor coverings from Recycled Mats, the Aroha mat is compact in size, long lasting and simple to maintain. Made from 95% recycled plastics, it is light enough for transportation and storage. Wipe it down with a cloth to clean.

The rectangular shape makes it ideal as an indoor caravan mat, hall runner or bedside mat. Relax on this reversible rug, or use this design as part of a set of multicultural rugs for teaching about world cultures in schools or kindy rooms.

The Aroha New Zealand design recycled mat comes in stylish black and white and suits all modern home designs.
