A cozy bedroom in blue and yellow fills the center of this Van Gogh inspired mahjong mat, its blue bed, wooden chairs and washstand set against a warm ochre wall hung with little pictures. A green shuttered window opens on the left. A folk-art border of chairs, windows and flowers frames the whole interior scene.
On a set table it reads warm and homey. The bright ochre and blue make ivory tiles stand out, and the familiar bedroom scene gives each player something to smile at between hands. Art lovers know the room immediately.
The Art: The Bedroom
Drawn in the post-impressionist manner of Van Gogh's famous bedroom interior, the design lays out the blue bed, rush-seat chairs and washstand in warm flat color, bounded by a decorative folk border of furniture and flowers. The scene carries the detail; the composition stays open enough for play.
On the Table
The mat is neoprene, a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Its soft surface quiets the shuffle, protects tile faces, and keeps four walls standing through a long night. Racks, dice and jokers stay put. Dye-sublimation printing sets the color into the fabric, so weekly games won't crack or fade it.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is compact for smaller tables and travel. 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full field for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discards. Larger suits most regular groups.

Brush it clean after the game, wipe with a damp cloth if needed, and keep it rolled rather than folded.
