If you're still using a boring old square doormat, then it's definitely time to upgrade, and the Hippo Door Mat is the perfect way to add a touch of whimsical animalistic humor to your entryway. Shaped to copy the silhouette of the African herbivore that it shares its name with, the Hippo Door Mat features a durable yet natural-looking composition that blends PVC with coir.
Designed Ed Annink, the Hippo Door Mat takes after a pictogram from Gerd Arntz, which is playful and perfectly simplistic. While the Hippo Door Mat is designed to face the elements in front of your door, it'll likely be hard not to want to protect the design so that you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come.
