Tranquility and presence
as you pass the doorstep
Kristine Five Melvær is the designer behind Heymat+. The collection consists of four different mats named Sand, Sjø, Stein and Strå – in English, Sand, Sea, Stone and Straw. As the titles indicate, the mats are inspired by nature, which comes across in the organic and meditative patterns
Aesthetics with
function
Although the design adds a decorative quality to the mats, it is also an important part of their functionality. The 3D patterns give Heymat+ a scratch effect, which efficiently deals with dirt and grime. The different levels also mean that water will gather in the furrows, leaving the mat feeling dry even when it’s moist
Heymat is specially designed
to absorb dirt and moisture
The mats are of durable
industrial quality
The pile is made from
100 % recycled plastic
Kristine Five Melvær
Kristine Five Melvær designed Heymat’s first collection, launched in January 2016. She immediately liked the idea of offering regular customers a product with the same high quality as industrial mats, and she has designed several collections for Heymat over the years. Kristine is concerned with finding themes and patterns that are pleasant to come home to.
Kristine holds a master’s degree in Industrial Design from The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and a master’s degree in Visual Communication from The Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She combines both disciplines in her works – spanning from furniture design to textiles and graphics – and she has won several awards within both her fields of expertise
