n the period 2011-2019, the photographers Daniel Heikens and Rein Langeveld portrayed a large number of men with a 'mat' as hairstyle in their hometown of The Hague. Their enthusiasm, coupled with designer Joost Nijhuis' fascination for cultural phenomena and movements, gave rise to the idea for a photo book, designed as a true atlas, including geographical maps, pictograms and statistics based on interviews with the men. During the research into the phenomenon 'the mat' (English: mullet, Flemish: neck carpet or neck spoiler) the gentlemen noticed that the mat is worn all over the world and often for a reason. For example, among the Masai, men wear a mat to show that they are still looking for a partner. In Western culture, the hairstyle often has an anarchic appearance.
