Description
The olive tree is the quintessential tree of the South, offering shade over long summer tables. The napkin olive tree yellow and green captures that Mediterranean mood, with a leafy pattern in sunny yellow and olive green.
Each piece is hand block-printed on cotton in artisan workshops in India, from a design created in France. Hand block printing here is a craft passed down through generations, and every print carries the small variations of the maker’s hand that set an artisanal textile apart from an industrial one. The pattern was drawn with a natural, Mediterranean spirit in mind.
Day to day, this napkin does what a good table napkin should. The cotton is soft and absorbent, sits well at each place setting, and holds up to repeated washing. With time it softens further, without losing its colour.
It travels well between settings too, since a good table napkin should never be limited to one occasion. Kept in a drawer alongside its matching pieces, it moves easily from a quick weekday lunch to a table set with a little more care, always ready without needing much thought.
The yellow and green of this napkin bring a bright, natural feel to the table. Folded simply by the plate or rolled into a wooden napkin ring, it evokes shaded lunches under an olive tree. It pairs naturally with stoneware, light wood and a white or natural-toned cloth.
Choosing the napkin olive tree yellow and green, you’re choosing a versatile piece, useful and decorative, made to last.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves natural patterns and the spirit of the South. An artisanal napkin, bright and durable, made to accompany everyday meals as well as summers in the Mediterranean. Because a table from the South deserves napkins as bright as an olive tree in summer.
