Citrine Fig Placemat

Citrine yellow is not a shy yellow. It is dense, golden, almost solar, warming a room without overwhelming it. This cotton placemat yellow makes it a signature: a luminous ground scattered with stylised figs, drawn with the elegant simplicity that runs through the collection.

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 gesture leaves its mark, those small variations from one impression to the next that give the cotton a life of its own. The design is created in France, in that luminous, Mediterranean spirit found throughout the collection.

A placemat is the simplest way to bring light to a setting. Laid on bare wood, it warms the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a square of light that lifts the whole table.

On a long table, the repeated motif creates a warm rhythm. On a sideboard, it composes a bare surface without effort.

This cotton placemat yellow is made for daily use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer over time while the yellow keeps its glow, and it takes long lunches and shared dishes without complaint. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape.

It works with white china, natural tones, wood and terracotta, and speaks of the South, of summer, of fig trees and meals taken outdoors. You can pair it with the matching Fig napkins, tablecloth and tea towels, dressing table and kitchen in a single motif.

An artisanal, sunlit and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes bringing a little light to the table whatever the season.
