TILE MAT / Letterfolk

Winner of a Core77 design award, the Tile Mat was designed with the goal of inviting co-creation from the end user. The Letterfolk Tile Mat allows consumers to express their own thoughts, messages, and designs through the medium of a welcome mat, either on their front porch or in various locations throughout their home or office.

The mat's honeycomb tiles are separated by a shallow cavity and feature a small overhanging lip that allows for individual silicone tiles to be easily snapped on and off. Use #tilemat to find many of the user created designs on instagram.

The initial mat has spawned a series of products including placemats and sensory tiles.

The Tile Mat has successfully invited thousands of users to co-create, facilitating the design process without owning it. It is interactive and analog. It invites collaboration, social connection, and creativity.
