Abstract
A portable work surface is convertible between mat and bag configurations, and includes a body with a central portion and a surrounding peripheral portion, with a cord threaded at least part way around the peripheral portion. The central and peripheral portions are configurable to define a substantially planar mat configuration. The cord is operable to fold the peripheral portion about the central portion to define a bag configuration where the central portion defines a bag base and the peripheral portion defines a bag wall. The peripheral portion comprises rigid members spanning the distance of the bag wall substantially between the central portion and the cord. In an embodiment, a cover may be hingedly connected to the body, foldable to straddle the peripheral portion in the bag configuration, and configurable to protrude proud of the planar mat configuration of the central portion and the peripheral portion.
