Made from soft woven rushes bound to rice straw core, tatami mats use natural materials in a simple construction, iconic in Japanese design. Room dimensions in traditionally built structures were measured by how many tatami would fit on the floor. Standard sizes have an aspect ratio of 2:1, with the length measuring exactly twice the width — a small tea house, for example, might fit only two tatami, while a large reception room might hold eight mats. Though woven in pure, unexpected colors, Tatami resides in a perpetual space, honoring both tradition and formality in its rhythm and structure.
