For another kitchen mat that challenges the industrial appearance norms, there’s recipe developer and food creator Christine Han’s mat, which she says is in perfect shape after about three years of use. She has two, which she stands on during her four to five hours in the kitchen on a daily basis and which she says “have stood the test of time.” She was looking for a kitchen mat that would both support her feet and catch food she dropped on the floor. She landed on the standing mats from House of Noa, which she describes as “supple” and are completely wipeable. “I cook with food coloring, I cook with kimchi, red-hot liquid that stains, and I’ve been able to get all of that out,” she says. Though the pattern she has is currently unavailable, House of Noa offers a variety of kitchen mats in different colors and patterns.
