Teklan Brings New Colours to the Entryway

indoor |

The entry is the first encounter with your home’s colours, mood and personality. Now colour designer Tekla Evelina Severin, known as Teklan, has created three new colourways for Heymat’s Mix indoor doormats: Ember, Zest and Dusk. From warm terracotta tones to fresh greens and the cool hues of the blue hour, each sets a different mood from the very first step.

The Power of Colour

For Teklan, recolouring Mix is like playing the same piece of music in three different keys: the rhythm stays the same, but the feeling changes.

Colours also shift with light, materials and their surroundings. The same doormat can therefore take on a different character from one home to another.

Working with Kristine Five Melvær’s graphic Mix pattern, Teklan has created three new colourways: Ember, Zest and Dusk.

“Colour can completely change how you read a shape, an object or a space without actually changing the form.”

Three New Colourways, Three Distinct Expressions

The three new palettes each explore the balance between harmony and contrast in their own way. From warm and embracing to fresh and nostalgic, and on to the blue hour.

Colour with Room for Contrast

When Teklan works with colour, she looks for a balance between harmony and tension. Something fresh and airy meets something deeper and more grounded. For her, a palette often becomes interesting when it holds these opposing qualities at the same time.

“I often use the expression ‘something flirty and something dirty’ — pairing something clear, airy or sweet with something deeper, dustier or more grounded.”

Set the Tone from the Very First Step

For Teklan, the entryway is the transition between the outside world and your own world. It offers the first glimpse of your home’s colours, mood and character – like the opening chapter of a story.

The doormat becomes part of that first encounter. An interior element that introduces colour and personality right at the door.

With Ember, Zest and Dusk, that story can begin in three different ways. Which one sets the tone for your home?

Indoor Doormats Made for Everyday Life

Mix Ember, Zest and Dusk combine colour and character with a practical role in the entryway. These indoor doormats trap dirt and absorb moisture from shoes, while a non-slip rubber backing helps keep them in place. They can be machine-washed – follow the care instructions for your mat.
