Door Mats Made from Recycled Fire Hoses

October 18, 2013

Spotted at Summer House, my local housewares shop in Mill Valley: doormats made from recycled fire hoses. Unexpectedly appealing and indisputably durable (“think what they’ve been through,” says their maker, the Oxgut Hose Company), the mats range in price from $165 for a 2-by-3-foot size and go up to $250 for the 3-by-4-foot size. Go to Oxgut Hose Company for more information.
