Rosa gray orange placemat

Not all colours need to shout to be beautiful. This printed placemat grey and orange is the proof: a soft, settled grey ground warmed by a delicate orange that draws roses without ever tipping into excess. It is an elegant, restrained motif that finds its place on almost any table.

Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing is a craft handed down through generations. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France, with an eye for a drawing that is both soft and refined.

A placemat dresses without covering. Laid on bare wood, it warms the timber without competing with it. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it brings a discreet note of colour and frames each plate cleanly.

On a sideboard or a console, it dresses an empty surface with very little effort. Stacked in a drawer, it is always ready.

This printed placemat grey and orange is made for real use. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes everyday meals and long dinners alike. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape wash after wash.

It works with white china, natural materials, wood and linen, one of those pieces that warm a room without overloading it. You can pair it with the matching Rosa napkins and tablecloth.

Left alone on a wooden table, it makes an ordinary meal feel quietly considered.

An artisanal, refined and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables laid with taste and restraint.
