Blue and yellow sunflower flower placemat

15,00  VAT INCLUDED

The sunflower is summer in a single flower: the heat, the light, the great fields that follow the sun. This cotton placemat blue and yellow makes it the subject, with a bright yellow shining against a deep blue, in a contrast full of energy.

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, in the solar, Mediterranean spirit that runs through the collection.

A placemat is the lightest way to lay a table. Set on bare wood, it brings light to the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it adds a square of colour that wakes up the whole setting.

Outdoors, on a garden table, it comes fully into its own on long summer lunches. Stacked in a drawer, it is ready in seconds.

This cotton placemat blue and yellow keeps all its promises. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping the brightness of its colours, and it takes shared dishes and busy tables without fuss. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape.

It works with white china, natural pottery and a room open to the garden, as well as a plainer interior it comes to lift. You can pair it with the matching Sunflower napkins and tablecloth.

An artisanal, sunlit and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that bring a little sunshine, even in the depths of winter.

Features

Printing: traditional hand block printing, entirely carried out by hand in Jaipur, India.

Care

General care instructions for artisan-printed cotton table linen:

  • Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C maximum, on a gentle cycle, to help preserve the colours.
  • Do not use bleach or whitening products.
  • Avoid fabric softener, as it may dull the colours over time.
  • Iron on the reverse side of the fabric at a moderate temperature (cotton/wool setting) to preserve the vibrancy of the print.
  • Air dry preferably in the shade; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause the colours to fade.

This cotton placemat blue and yellow brings together the deep blue and solar yellow of a great field of flowers, a sunflower motif hand block-printed from a French design. Made in artisan workshops in India, it marks out each guest’s place while leaving the wood of the table visible all around.

Machine washable and hard-wearing, it softens with use while keeping its brightness. It evokes the summers of the South, and coordinates with the matching Sunflower napkins and tablecloth. It suits an indoor meal and a garden table equally well.
