“Mpampaintji Pintjamu depicts the vibrant and warm colours of the sky before the sun rises. The title of the piece is a translation of “morning light” in my mob’s language, Kalkadoon. The movement and intricacy of the shapes shows the energy of the sky as its own being, in that small moment before the colours and image shifts minute by minute. Many of my colour palettes are derived from actual moments or memories of nature, this piece was taken from a twilight image from a recent trip back onto Kalkadoon country in Mount Isa.”
A closer look
100% recycled fabric
Our Mpampaintji Pintjamu (Morning Light) mats divert approximately 52 plastic bottles from sitting in landfill or ending up in our oceans.
Water repellant surface
Wine spill? Ice cream splat? Wipe them off easily like they never happened.
Waterproof underside
With waterproofing on both sides of the fabric, our bottom ensures your bottom stays bone dry!
Stakes and sand pockets
On sand or soil, keep the corners down on those particularly windy days. Plus, our rust-resistant stakes are in-built with their own storage pockets, so you'll never need to worry about any missing pieces.
Hidden pocket with waterproof zipper
Take your time in the surf or enjoy a snooze, knowing your valuables are safely out of view.
Cotton strap and D-ring closures
When you're done with the mat, simply fold into thirds and roll it up. Fasten the cotton straps with stylish rust-resistant D-rings for a secure fit (and no dead leaves hitchhiking home as we’re velcro-free!)
UPF30+
To keep colours bright and bold, each mat comes with a UPF30+ rating, so the only thing needing protection under the sun is your skin.
