The Triangles design is now available in the square chair mat size.

Dantsu are high density hand-woven carpets known for their exceptional quality. Since they are woven with hands various colours and patterns can be expressed, and how the structure is formed with wool yarns entwined to warp and then with weft and entwined yarns results in high density wool and provides thickness in the rug. If you check the back side you can see the exact pattern of what is seen on the front and that is the proof of a high density quality dantsu rug.  

The front part of the mat is natural wool, the colour is made only by blending wool and not dyeing. Weaving and all the other processes for making the chair mat are done by hand to preserve its quality.

Originally named Uribo which translates to "wild baby boar", these triangle patterns were designed inspired by the uneven patterns of the wild baby boars that are seen in the rice fields in Yamagata. 

Designs are created by a young local designer Katsunobu Yoshida and all chair mats are produced by skilled artisans of Yonezawa Dantsu using hand-weaving machines. Each chair mat has quite a thickness so it is really comfortable to sit on (also very warm). The fringe on both sides can be tucked in or just leave them as they are depending on your liking. The size is approximately 30cm x 30cm (12" x 12"), slightly smaller than their original sizing.
