Black Zabuton Cushion
Bolon Vinyle Weave Mats
The Mats represent the patient areas of the space. The layout of the mats direct the patient correctly around the clinic to the particular areas they will be using e.g waiting area, changing and shower room, toilet, treatment room and recovery room, giving a subconscious message and subtly dividing the patient from the staff areas of the space, minimsing patient confusion and staff interruption. Mats represent traditional Japanese Tatami mats through colours and linear styling.
