The Matwalk, by Paolo Ulian, is a bathmat designed to enable you to scoot across your washroom without getting the floor wet. The two front “foot pockets” allow you to slide your feet into them and go. Just be careful and take small, scooting steps so you don’t crack your head open on the toilet, forcing you to call 911 and say: “I’ve Fallen And I Can’t Get Up!” How would you explain to the paramedics that just before you fell, you were scooting around on your washroom floor in your bathmat?
