Cornflower yellow green table runner

Cornflowers grow freely at the edge of the fields, among the wheat and the wild grasses. This table runner yellow and green keeps that meadow spirit, but in a luminous palette, like a field bathed in early summer light running down the length of the table.

Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing has been handed down through generations. The slight irregularity of the gesture gives the fabric a life of its own, those small variations that mark out a genuinely handmade textile. The design is created in France, in the natural, country spirit that runs through the collection.

Laid on bare wood, this runner warms the table while leaving the timber visible at either side. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a band of colour and gives the setting a clear centre line. Set on the diagonal across a round table, or unrolled along a sideboard, it works just as well.

This table runner yellow and green is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer over time while keeping the freshness of its colours, and it takes summer lunches and family meals without fuss.

It sits beautifully with white china, light wood, linen and other natural materials, and needs very little around it: a jug of wild flowers and a few glasses are enough. You can pair it with the matching Cornflower napkins and tablecloth to compose the whole table around one motif.

Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and the clarity of its colours.

An artisanal, fresh and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that smell of the countryside and meals that stretch into the afternoon.
